Summary
François is a modest journalist who is not particularly enthused
when his boss invites him to write an article on the ordinary French
worker. Acting on the advice of a union official, he pays a call
on a man named Claude, but he arrives in a moment of
crisis. Claude is in a state of shock after his wife Lily
left him and he is in no mood to talk about his work.
François makes several valiant attempts to restore Claude’s
spirits, but in vain. The only solution is to bring Lily and
Claude back together again, but this proves to be much harder than even
François imagined...
