Synopsis
Vincent Machot was living an ordinary life, divided between his hair salon, his cousin, his cat and his intrusive mother. With a very reserved character, his romantic life was limited to missed visits with his friend, who had been living in Paris for several months and was not keen to meet up again. He met Rosalie Blum by chance, a manager of a small business, a solitary and mysterious woman, whom Vincent was convinced he had met before. But where? Intrigued, he decided to follow her everywhere she went in the hope of knowing more, and he found her entering a prison. Rosalie eventually noticed that Vincent was everywhere she went and asked her niece, Aude, an idle and lazy student, to help her watch Vincent. Aude, who invited her two whimsical friends to help her, became the head of the mission to discover more about Vincent. The three of them gathered clues, suspecting Vincent of evil intent and the construction of criminal theories, pretending they were the protagonists of a police show. After many meticulous investigations, the characters will not be what one would believe, and everyone's personal lives will unveil when the barriers between them are removed.
