Isabelle, the human resources manager of a large shipping company, makes a serious blunder by taking as her lover her employer.   Before setting off on the maiden voyage of the pride of his fleet, her boss decides to end the affair.  Some women in Isabelle's position would no doubt take their revenge by resorting to poison or firearms.  Isabelle opts for a more subtle form of vengeance.  She hires an unemployed washout named Rémy to work as a hospitality host.   At first, Rémy lives up to Isabelle's expectations, but then the walking disaster suddenly finds his sea legs...
