Bernard works in a great position at his wife Nelly's family business, while also suffering from his passion for womanizing. He even gets his mistress pregnant. If his wife finds out, he would lose everything. Therefore, he asks for help from his friend Phillippe, a good-hearted man who lives a settled life with his girlfriend Alice and has little money to spare. This sets off a creative carousel of situations and plots, where it is uncertain whether Phillippe's relationship with Alice will collapse and whether Bernard's lies will hold up... The comedic archetype of the playful liar, who can wriggle out of seemingly hopeless situations and invents stories with such intensity as if he had truly experienced them, migrates through world drama from antiquity through Alarcón, Corneille, Goldoni, to Éric Assous, who wrote his intelligent and witty comedy My Best Friend in 2011.
