Synopsis

Spoiler shield

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. …

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
