Overview

After a painful separation 25 years ago, Séverine chose to immerse herself in work. She has created her own publishing house, small, of course, but one which gives her full satisfaction. Until the day when Jean-Pierre, her ex-husband, former business banker, shows up in his office. He is completely ruined, unemployed, and threatened with expulsion. Séverine agrees to help him on two conditions: nobody needs to know who he really is, and he will be a ... surface technician.
