Plot Summary

Marc is forty, widower and father of a jealous 16-year-old daughter, he has a hard time facing all of his responsibilities, especially since he's an executive of an insurance company. Jeanne is thirty-eight. Dogged by creditors, she is divorced and a mother of an adorable five-year-old pest. She's working in the same insurance company but as a waitress. These two have nothing in common except for maybe their solitude and two over-concerned mutual friends. How can two wildly opposite souls ever come together? By accident or do they need a little push by a mischievous twist of fate? Written by Happy_Evil_Dude
