Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Duperrier, a model of piety, justice and charity, wakes up one day with a halo over his head, to the great despair of his wife who fears the gossip of the neighborhood. He's obliged to do everything possible to lose this gift from heaven.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
