Francois Pignon has a problem; he is boring, so bland in fact that his wife has left him and his 17 year old son has abandoned him. Now even his employers are tired of him; he is to lose his job as an accountant in a condom factory. His neighbour Belone provides a solution. To keep his job Pignon will pretend to be gay. The consequences soon spiral far beyond the original aim and Pignon’s life is transformed. A delightful comedy of perceptions, starring Daniel Auteuil and Gérard Depardieu. In French with English subtitles.
