Film Synopsis
Christophe is a struggling playwright who tries in vain to find a backer
for his latest stage play to showcase the talents of his partner, Patricia,
with whom he is madly in love. By chance, a possible solution presents
itself to him - surely he can persuade his childhood friend Jean-Luc, a man
of considerable means, to help him out in his hour of need? It so happens
that Jean-Luc is about to get married, to Nathalie, and the couple invite
Christophe and Patricia to spend a weekend in the country with them ahead
of the wedding. Suspecting that Christophe may be cheating on her,
Patricia appears unusually cold and distant, and is in no mood for idle banter
with her hosts. Jean-Luc and Nathalie naturally explain away Patricia's
unsociability by assuming that she is a foreigner who has difficulty with
their language. Seeing a perfect opportunity to further embarrass her
partner, Patricia encourages the misunderstanding by passing herself of as
an immigrant who cannot speak a word of French. What begins as an amusing
game of deception soon gets out of hand...
