Film Synopsis
Arthur Lepage, the owner of a sports accessories shop, is completely taken
aback when his partner of five years, Florence, suddenly announces her decision
to leave him so that she can marry another man. Arthur is even more
surprised when he learns that the marriage is due to take place in Miami
in just a few days' time. How can this be possible? How can his
idyllic life with Florence end so abruptly, without even the slightest indication
of an imminent separation? And, even more bafflingly, why has he not
been invited to the wedding? This is one thing Arthur isn't going to
take lying down - he will be present at the wedding if it's the last thing
he does!
Arthur is at the airport, waiting for his plane to Miami, when an excited
young woman suddenly accosts him. This is a Emilie Vergano, who, unbeknown
to Arthur, is on the run from the police after stealing a valuable painting
from a Parisian museum. Without Arthur knowing, Emilie hides the stolen
work of art in his luggage, thereby planting the seed of an adventure that
is way beyond Arthur's imagination. So much for R.T.T. (réduction
du temps de travail). For one unsuspecting French man, an increase
in his working week would be infinitely preferable to the horrors that lie
ahead of him...
