A good deed goes hilariously wrong when your thank-you guy is a chaos tornado with a heart of gold.
A peaceful provincial notable saves the life of a man who has just had a car accident. He has no idea that his life is going to be completely turned upside down…. Because Jean-Bernard Hollier is what we can call a “ball”. A ball with a big heart but above all a ball… And by wanting to thank his savior at all costs, he is just going to make his life hell! Not happy mafiosi, burglaries and troubles of all kinds will rain down on the two men and their family... All they have to do is work together to get out of this mess... But that is not a foregone conclusion. …

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is peak 'comédie de boulevard' television—French TV movies built around established comic duos, often shot quickly for holiday scheduling.
François Berléand has played this exact put-upon bourgeois type so often that French audiences reportedly groan-laugh when he appears in cardigans.
