Michel is an honest man who always keeps his word. This, however, is the reason that he, along with his colleagues, is fired from his job. But he is not disappointed and is actually looking forward to spending more time with his wife Marie-Claire. Together they are planning a holiday to Kenya, but they are attacked and robbed in their home and cannot leave for Africa. The robber, Christophe is a young man who desperately needs money to care for his two small brothers. Once Michel calms down about the assault, he changes his mind about Christophe´s crime and decides to help him –and so, while Christophe is in prison, Michel and Marie-Claire take care of both little boys. This film about humanity, understanding, and forgiveness has been awarded the European LUX prize as the best European film of the year.
