At nearly 30, Paul Mirabel has just sold Amazon the recording of his show and a documentary about his life. Problem, he spent more time on his PlayStation than working and has no archival footage. In short, he lied. How far will this bluff take him? And to top it off, a childhood love resurfaces, because problems never come alone…

Jean-Yves Machond, a globally unknown and generally unhappy painter, decides one day to change his life. He seeks inspiration in a small Norman town, in order to design a masterpiece that will finally earn him glory and eternal recognition. But his meeting with local artists, from the warm Bagnoule to the skillful Cécile, will somewhat make him deviate from his path, and bring him face to face with his deepest dream: that of simply being a happy man.
