About

Arnaud and Marion are a couple who want to move into a new flat and turn to Cedric, a charming estate agent, for help, but Arnaud suspects that his partner is in love with him. By a happy coincidence, Arnaud notices on the underground Thomas, who is the agent’s lookalike, and convinces him to play the role of Cedric in order to discredit the agent’s image in front of Marion. The plan seems perfect, except that things are not so simple, and a series of unexpected events terribly complicates the situation: Cedric and Thomas accidentally meet at Arnaud’s house, where, in the meantime, Jules, Thomas’s twin brother, also makes his appearance. Who could possibly cope with such a tangle?
