Short description

A man spreads the rumor of his fake homosexuality with the aid of his neighbor, to prevent his imminent firing at his work.

What's left behind the scenes

The sets were built in the pavilions of Epinay Studios, a replica of one of the factories where Prophyltex products are manufactured.
A parody of the comedy “The Baker's Wife” (Nicolas Ribowski, 1999), whose screenplay was written by Marcel Pagnol. Daniel Auteuil (who played François here) starred in many films based on Pagnol’s screenplays.
