Summary
Gérard is at the end of his tether. Fifty-something, he
has been unemployed for three years and the future looks grim.
Then he has the opportunity of getting a well-paid job in
Indonesia. To impress his future employer, Gérard
invites him to dinner. A fatal error! When she hears about
this, Gérard’s wife Colette is sent into a panic.
Uncertain what to do, she turns to Alexandre, her neighbour, and
enlists his help in giving their home, herself and her husband a brand
new look. Everything has to be perfect if Gérard is to
secure his dream job. But will Gérard’s prospective employer be
impressed by what he sees...?
