When you spend your life running a business, when you sacrifice entire weekends, how does your life looks like ? Pierre gave everything to his business. And he has lost everything when he got fired by the new shareholders. In Pierre’s life, everything is upside down.

His only customer is a young beur, unemployed, who wishes to throw an anti-carjacking. His name is Farid and it is not a gift! But he chases Pierre until he agrees with helping him to develop his invention. In front of his friends, Pierre pretends he is "coaching " a young immigrant. In fact, if Pierre has accepted, it is by pure egoism for reassurance, because Peter would do anything to not stay doing unbusy. But how Pierre can bear Farid, so hazy, so innocent, so messy, so different ... and finally so touching?
Quand on passe sa vie à diriger une entreprise, quand on lui sacrifie des week-ends entiers, que reste-t-il de la vie ? De la vie toute simple qu’on oublie d’affronter ? Pierre a tout donné à son entreprise. Et elle lui a tout repris, brutalement, quand il s’est fait virer par les nouveaux actionnaires qui l’ont racheté.
Tout ce que Pierre parvient à se « mettre sous la dent », c’est un jeune beur, chômeur en prime, qui voudrait lancer un système anti-carjacking : il s’appelle Farid et c’est pas un cadeau ! Mais il pourchasse Pierre jusqu’à ce qu’il accepte de l’aider à développer son invention. En réalité, si Pierre a cédé, c’est par pur égoïsme : pour se rassurer, parce que Farid a réussi à l’embobiner en le flattant, parce que Pierre ferait n’importe quoi pour ne pas rester à ne rien faire. Mais comment supporter Farid, si fumeux, si naïf, si bordélique, si différent… et finalement si attachant ?
