And the fun and games begin as Francois treks through the Paris streets and finds big-hearted cab driver Bruno (Dany Boon) who just might be the one to pull off the pretense that will result in Francois getting the vase.

Francois Pignon (Gad Elmaleh) is a parking valet working at a Paris restaurant who just happens to get in the frame of an incriminating picture the paparazzi take of wealthy businessman Pierre Lavasseur (Daniel Auteuil) and his mistress Elina (Alice Taglioni). To convince his wife Christine (Kristin Scott Thomas) that there is nothing going on between him and Elena, Lavasseur convinces Francois and Elena to move in together and pretend that they are in love when out in public. As the games begin, tensions increase, and complications ensue–especially when Christine learns the truth and joins in on the "games."
