Beatrice celebrates with her family the release of her book: she tells about the accident of her husband Frederic. He became blind and without filter - always so funny and seductive, he is totally unpredictable. But this book, hymn-to-life, will turn into a joyful fist because if Beatrice changed the names, each of his friends seeks to find his character. The book awakens secret jealousies, while the group of friends and family pitch.
Acting
José Garcia's blind, filterless chaos — genuinely unpredictable comic timing.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Alexandra Lamy and José Garcia previously starred together in 2012's 'Le Dîner de Cons' remake — their chaotic chemistry is certified French comedy royalty.
The film satirizes France's literary celebrity culture where 'roman à clef' scandals are practically a national sport — think of it as a comedy of bad manners in the land of Sagan and Houellebecq.
