Une époque formidable

Michel Berthier (Gérard Jugnot) is a senior executive at a mattress company, and he has just been fired. He can't tell his partner Juliette (Victoria Abril), so he borrows money to keep the gifts coming and the family's life looking the same. Gérard Jugnot also directs, and the debts pile up while the shoes, the car and the cash go, leaving a man with a few days of lying left before the truth reaches the house.
