Synopsis

Vincent, who is in his early forties, leads a double life. While he drives aimlessly along highways and hangs out in gas stations and rest stops, he tells his family that he has a very busy professional life. In truth, he has been unemployed for several weeks and is hiding this from the people around him. He lives in a small country town with his wife Muriel, their three children and his parents who are local dignitaries. He invents a new position as an international public servant in Switzerland. This allows him, as he supposedly moves to Geneva, to borrow money from his father and above all, gives him free time. He uses this freedom to set up a scam involving his old classmates from college to whom he offers fake investment opportunities in Switzerland. Obliged not only to get hold of money at any cost, but also to elaborate more and more on his fictional position each day, Vincent gets caught in a trap of his own making: not working gradually becomes a full-time  job.
