Plot
Francis Bergeade, owner of a toilet seats and brushes factory in Dole, has just turned 65 and his life is a misery. Tax services are harassing him, his snobby wife Nicole despises him, and his daughter wants an expensive wedding. Francis knows only moments of relief while lunching and dining in fancy restaurants with his best friend, car dealer Grard. Stress becomes overwhelming and he suffers an attack from a blocked nerve.
During his convalescence, his family watch a reality television show about long-lost relationships and disappearances called 'O es-tu?' ('Where are you?') featuring Spanish-born Dolors Thivart and her daughters "Zig" and "Puce", producers of foie gras from Condom, who seek their husband and father, Michel, who vanished 27 years ago. Michel Thivart happens to be Francis's exact lookalike
