Plot
Antoine is a failed writer in his late thirties. Perpetually trying to complete his debut novel, he shares an apartment with Fred, a younger, unemployed and socially inept man who nevertheless seems content with his life. The story follows the pair in their chaotic attempts at generating income, as they try to survive in Paris despite their near-nonexistent resources. The adventures and, mostly, misadventures of these two buddies/losers make them realise that in spite of all their mishaps their friendship is the most important thing in their lives.
