Summary
Armand is living out his last few years before retirement in comfort
and style on the French Riviera. His clothes shop provides him
with a comfortable income and he happily divides his leisure time
between his two loves, his girlfriend Viviane and his favourite street
restaurant, l’Aline Roc. Armand could not ask for a more idyllic
life. Then he learns, to his horror, that l’Aline Roc is to be
sold to a property developer who intends to build in its place a hotel
for Russian millionaires. Mild mannered Armand has absolutely no
intention of letting this happen...
