Alexandre is unemployed and his bank account is blocked – while his wife is on a top-secret nuclear submarine mission for the next two months! He now has to prove to her that he can take care of their two children and stand on his own feet. Alexandre begins searching for a job and receives an offer from a dynamic start-up called “The Box”. The company's philosophy: “No children!” Luckily, Alexandre recently met the bon vivant Arcimboldo and with his help, flashing gadgets and a tough female boss, he whirls through the authentic 24/7 universe. Director Bruno Podalydès, who also plays the leading role, has created a light-handed human comedy about a virtual world that will never replace real encounters, and mocks with tongue in cheek the hostility shown towards families in today's working world. Charming and very timely. (Zurich Film Festival)
