Gregoire (Louis-Do de Lencquesaing) is a happily wedded father of three young girls, an independent film producer who somehow manages to juggle the never-ending demands of his company with his domestic responsibilities. Married to his cellphone and chain-smoking his way through endless rounds of meetings and crises, he maintains his sense of humour despite incessant demands from the difficult Swedish auteur he has always wanted to produce and the arrival of a group from Korea doing preproduction work on a new film. In addition to massaging artistic egos, his job involves trying to keep one step ahead of his bank – and financing is always an interminable headache. When his wife, Sylvia (Chiara Caselli), insists that he join the family on an Italian holiday, Gregoire finds he can no longer maintain any sane balance. Returning to Paris, he confronts the biggest challenge of his career – with unexpected consequences.
