Film Synopsis

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...?
