Newly arrived in Paris full of dreams, the young artist Stéphane quickly comes back down to earth when he is hired by a boring company to do an unmotivating job: making corny commercial calendars. Stéphane immediately bonds with one of his colleagues - a forty-something man who is a bit rude but a nice guy nonetheless - and meets the girl next door, with whom he falls in love. To escape his mundane job and his fears about how to win over this charming young woman, Stéphane hides in a dream world. Latest delirium of Michel Gondry, director of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", with Gael Garcia Bernal, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Alain Chabat.
