Synopsis

Florence is in love with David and wants to introduce him to her father at a restaurant. David, who isn't in love with Florence, invites his friend Willy to the meal in the hope that he will seduce her and get her off his back. This would be a full-fledged comedy of errors if it weren't for the fact that behind the cameras is the always outrageous Quentin Dupieux, who on this occasion directs a chamber piece with the crème de la crème in French cinema.
