Agathe is a successful art dealer who lives with her husband François and their son Adrien in a wealthy quarter of Paris. Unfortunately Adrien is an underachiever at his school and Agathe cannot bother François into leaving the flat for parent-teacher conferences. Moreover the family has an abandoned construction site in their flat. The situation gets stirred up when Adrien befriends a classmate who has a rather dubious social background. His friend is raised by a single father named Patrick who has neither a proper home nor tact. Although Agathe is obviously distressed by Patrick's unpolished behaviour, her husband François just hires him to take care of the overdue repairs. François and Patrick even become friends. Then François hits successfully on a woman Patrick had wanted for himself and leaves Agathe. Patrick and Agathe are both left back. Agathe develops empathy for this man who au contraire to her husband is dedicated to do everything necessary to make sure his son can attend a respected school.
