Synopsis:

Unemployed for three years, Gerard has landed a job in Indonesia. To start off on the right foot with his "team leader", Gerard invites him to dinner. Considering his wife's lack of culinary talent, that may not be the brightest idea he ever had. Their neighbor, Alexandre, a PR whiz, is willing to help--as long as Gerard and Colette are prepared to accept changes in their habits and surroundings. After many dramas, mishaps, misunderstandings and general bungling, with frazzled nerves, Gerard and Colette open the door to welcome their dinner guest.

Fifty years, three years of unemployment, allowances. Gérard is at the end of his tether, but then he is offered a job in Indonesia. To curry favour with his boss, Gérard invites him to dinner at his place. Worried that he may not meet his bosss standards, his wife Colette begs their neighbour Alexandre to come and help. A communication guru, Alexandre rises to the challenge and gives the couple a 24-hour makeover of their apartment, dinner menu, dress code and general culture. The couples nerves are on end when they finally open the door to their guest.
