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...?
