Laurent’s house floods and then burns down, his cell phone is stolen, he’s hit by a car, his son goes missing, his wife leaves him…and the worst has yet to happen!
Laurent Demange is having a very, very bad week. A leak in his roof during a storm causes a flood. Nathalie, his girlfriend (and ex-wife) never wants to have sex, he has to go pick-up their sick son, Milo, from school, and the bank warns that he is in debt 200,000€!
While walking Milo back from school, Laurent’s cell phone is stolen right out of his hands. Furious, he chases after the thief. This is when he gets hit by a car, but just barely. Laurent regains consciousness (after being tasered by the driver), to realize that he had abandoned Milo when he raced after his cell phone.
Laurent learns later, while in jail for having broken his banker’s nose (it was an accident after his house burned down), that the police found Milo and returned him to Nathalie. She decides to fight for sole custody after moving in with her lover.
Despite the hilarious chaos and madness that ensues – which includes an embezzling accountant, a hostage situation with a Nokia executive, more time spent in jail, and a run-in with an ex-girlfriend – Laurent concentrates all of his efforts on one thing. He just wants his son back.
Laurent Bénégui is an independent producer, director, screenwriter and sometimes actor. He is the author of Le roman des Quarks, La paresse de Dieu, Je ne veux pas être là, Le jour où j’ai voté pour Chirac and Le tournevis infiniment petit, all published by Julliard.
