Summary
Jean-Gabriel lives with wife Suzy and three children on the outskirts
of Paris. Despite his modest income, Jean-Gabriel still has money
to buy drinks and bet on the horses. One day, he promises his
daughter that he will take the whole family on a skiing holiday.
Although Jean-Gabriel is clearly unable to afford such an excursion,
his wife gives him an ultimatum – if he breaks his promise, she will
leave him.
