Synopsis
Alice, a young trainee employee on a celebrity magazine, is moved by the plight of her neighbour, Victor.  The charming old man hasn’t a friend in the world and is about to be evicted from his rooms.  Alice comes to his rescue by organising a competition in her magazine: the winner will have the privilege of adopting Victor for life.  The idea proves to be a great success and the Saillard family are the lucky winners of the friendless 80-year-old.  Unfortunately, what begins as a good-humoured gesture soon degenerates into acrimony as Victor’s failings become apparent...
