With two of his student friends, Max makes a fortune and leaves university. But being rich on Caribbean yachts surrounded by hangers-on turns out to be boring and he can’t stop thinking about the young woman he tried to win over at school. Back in France for a few days, Max sees Alice (Aïssa Maïga) on TV. It seems Alice left university as well, to look after her son as a single mother. The factory where she works is closing and she’s trying to mobilize public opinion in favor of keeping it open. Deciding to help, Max secretly buys the factory and goes to work there undercover to be close to her. But all Alice sees in him is the student he used to be, so Max must use his imagination to finally win her heart...

There are movies that make you stupid. Following the example of the bumbling but warm-hearted main character, with a vacant look in your eyes you can make yourself comfortable – if possible not far from a heating duct – and let yourself go for the next hour and a half to consume instead of learn. What follows is a master class in how to be a dilettante, and you certainly won’t come out more intelligent. Only the presence of Chantal Loby as the mother will save you from complete boredom. To popcorn lovers: chew with you mouth open, no one will be annoyed if you ruin the dialogue.
