Plot



Pediatric nurse Thibault "Titi" always gets quickly friendzoned by women hes interested in. On holiday with his three best friends for a bachelorette party, during their last night, he stumbles across Rose.

Recently broken up with her boyfriend, there are sparks between Rose and Titi. They grow closer together, later going on nights out, watching films and giving Rose foot rubs. He takes too long to tell Rose how he feels, and she shows signs of being too comfortable with him.

Convinced that hes in the friend zone, his three closest friends set out to help him win her affections. They believe he should become a new more mysterious man.

Titi tells Rose hes going abroad for some weeks volunteering so his girlfriends can coach him. Maud, an independent banker who unapologetically embraces her sexuality, builds his stamina and fitness by running. Goofy Lulu, Titis co-worker, teaches him to dance. Alexandra, the sweet girl next door type, gives him advice on communicating more masculinely.

At the end of his training, Titi successfully gets social influencer Jennis number. Feeling hes ready, they plan to expose Rose to the new-and improved Titi at her baby clothes design show, but he finds shes back with her troublesome ex-boyfriend Bruno.

While Rose is in the back, Bruno shamelessly hits on Maud who he had hit on five years ago, but to no avail as she still prefers women.

Crushed, Titi goes home in a daze. He looks through his phone, calling Jenni. Hes honest to her, but in a sexy way which convinces her. She throws herself at him.

The next day, Titi introduces Jennifer to his friends. They had just been gossiping about the couples escapade in the hospital, as well as Bruno harassing Maud with talk of his penis size.

Jennifer monopolises all of Titis time. He is expected to be her photographer as well as not being able to spend time with his friends. Rose tries to contact him, only knowing about him through Jennis social media.

Jenni's demandingness becomes trying. Titi is woken from a tranquil dream with Rose by her snapping flash photos of them. At work Rose pays him a surprise visit, but hes rude and she leaves upset. Lulu and the rest of the group propose hatching the plan to get rid of Bruno.

Titi apologizes to Rose, inviting her and Bruno to Jennifers party. Maud is to seduce Bruno and show Rose the pictures. Alex asks Rose to take something to Titis room. Lulu distracts Jenni so Titi can follow and show her some of the dance moves hes learned.

On their way downstairs to rejoin the party, Titi and Rose see Bruno showing Maud his penis. Upset, Rose leaves and Titi comforts her, but when he tries to kiss her she accuses him of just trying to get sex. Rejected and dejected, Titi returns to an irate Jenni, breaks up with her, so she beats him up.

Confronting his friends, Titi chews them out for meddling. He points out that Maud is a hypocrite for criticising when she doesnt have long-term relationships, Lulu for being irresponsible and Alex for navely trying to make everything fit into her idea of a perfect world. Reminding them they changed him, he stomps off.

Titi doesnt talk to his friends for awhile, until Lulu reaches out on their lunch break. Later, she tells him Alexs pregnant. Going down to meet them all, apologies are given all around.

Alex tells Titi Rose is moving to Spain tomorrow. Initially not responsive, seeing one of his young patients with her boy friend inspires him. Running out of the hospital, hes hit by an ambulance. His life flashes before his eyes and he wakes up in a hospital bed. Realing he has little time, he has his crew get him to Roses.



As Rose wont let him in, he declares his love for her from atop of her moving van. Promising to be upfront with her from now on, she lets him in. Months later, he has a quick video call with his crew from Barcelona.
