Unable to accept the recent loss of his job, business executive Vincent Renault (Aurélien Recoing) refuses to tell his wife Muriel (Karin Viard) & begins spending days out driving long distances in order to maintain the illusion that he is out at work. When his money begins to run out, Vincent starts roping his friends into imaginary investment deals, compulsively spinning a web of lies which leaves him ever less room to manoeuvre. Directed by Laurent Cantet (' Human Resources').
