Summary
Vincent is a minister, a powerful man who is not bad looking, even
elegant. A bon vivant, he enjoys his food and drink, and he
certainly likes the ladies. Odile, his mistress, is a very
beautiful woman, as well as being intelligent and charming. But
when Vincent loses his position, Odile dumps him in an instant.
Vincent has barely departed when his successor,
Théodière, turns up and begins transforming his office,
confident that he will be around for some time. Not long
afterwards, it is Théodière who is the ex-minister.
How will Vincent react when he meets his rival and successor, who has
been sacked in disgrace...?
