Alone in his Parisian flat, Monsieur Henri categorically refuses to be placed in a retirement home. His son Paul is worried about his health, so the grumpy old man eventually agrees to rent a room in his flat to a student. Constance, a fresh and enthusiastic young woman, moves in with him. Far from falling under her charm, Henri decides to use Constance to create a real family chaos, the consequences of which he was far from having anticipated...

A scathing comedy about family interference, heavy inheritances to bear, and the difficulty of reconciling life's big dreams with the small daily compromises everyone makes with their conscience... Whether at 20, 40, or almost 80!
