Vincent and Mathias are two friends, in their thirties, who live off Vincent’s father. One day, during a meal where the wine and talk both flow a little too freely, Vincent’s father offers the two friends a bet. If they can survive seven days and seven nights in Paris with just seven Euros in their pocket, he will pay off all of their debts. If not, they will have to learn to fend for themselves. Confident of their abilities to survive in the jungle that is Paris, Vincent and Mathias willingly accept the offer, but soon regret doing so...

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Matthieu Delaporte later became known for hit comedies 'Le Prénom' and 'Le Dîner de Cons' — this was his scrappy early work with the same sharp eye for social humiliation.
The film satirizes France's specific anxiety about 'fils à papa' (daddy's boys) — adult children living off family wealth, a recurring target in French cinema from Tati to contemporary dramedies.
