Philbert and Franck are an oddly matched pair of roommates. Philbert is an aristocrat from an OldMoney family who runs a little store that sells postcards. Philbert is not quite TheShutIn but he doesn't like dealing with people, so he lets his lodger, Franck, do the shopping and errands. While Philbert is rich and shy, Franck is poor and brashly confident. Franck works as a chef. On the one day a week when the restaurant is closed, Franck visits his elderly grandmother Paulette, who raised him. As the story starts, Paulette has had a fall in her home and is facing the prospect of going to an old folks' home.

* RaceForYourLove: Played with. Camille races to the train station before Franck leaves, catches him, makes her AnguishedDeclarationOfLove--and he leaves anyway. But he really doesn't, calling her and pretending he's in line at Customs when really he's doubled back and is right behind her.

Philbert and Franck are an oddly matched pair of roommates. Philbert is an aristocrat from an OldMoney family who runs a little store that sells postcards. Philbert is not quite TheShutIn but he doesn't like dealing with people, so he lets his lodger, Franck, do the shopping and errands. While Philbert is rich and shy, Franck is poor and brashly confident. Franck works as a chef. On the one day a week when the restaurant is closed, Franck visits his elderly grandmother Paulette, who raised him. As the story starts, Paulette has had a fall in her home and is facing the prospect of going to an old folks' home.
Enter Camille (Creator/AudreyTautou), who lives in a tiny attic garret in the same building where Philbert is living in a luxury apartment suite. Camille is stressed out by an unsatisfactory job--she's working as a cleaning lady but hopes to be an artist--and she is struggling with anorexia. Camille invites Philbert up for dinner one evening on a whim, and they become friends. Soon after, when Camille falls seriously ill with the flu, Philbert brings her into his apartment to recuperate. She gets better, but lingers in the apartment, and she and Franck start to clash.

!!Tropes:
* BelligerentSexualTension: Franck's displeasure when Philbert brings a woman into the apartment, and all the belligerent sniping that goes on between Camille and Franck afterwards, crackles with tension. It culminates when Camille comes home, finds Franck cavorting with a woman while his boombox plays loud music. She throws his boombox out the window.
* BleakAbyssRetirementHome: Paulette is horrified at the prospect of getting put in a home and guilt-trips Franck, who gets upset, as he's living hand-to-mouth himself and can't quit his job to look after her. The dilemma is solved when Camille quits her cleaning lady job to look after Paulette.
* TheGhost: Franck and Paulette argue about his mother and her daughter, how she's not around to help take care of Paulette. Later Franck tells Camille about how his mother abandoned him and later made one abortive effort to reclaim him when he was ten. She never appears onscreen.
* InsistentTerminology: When a doctor identifies her as a cleaning woman, Camille says "surface engineer."
* MomentKiller: Franck has a woman on top of him in his room and is just about to start getting her clothes off when Philbert starts yelling from the kitchen. The tightly-wound Philbert dropped his box filled with antique family crockery, and has a minor meltdown.
* NewYearHasCome: All the staff at Franck's restaurant (including Camille, who is temping) toasts the New Year with champagne at midnight.
* RaisedByGrandparents: Franck was raised by his grandmother after his mother dropped him off, when he was a baby, and left.
* StutterStop: Philbert has a pretty bad stutter, which is one of the reasons he mostly avoids contact with people. It turns out that his stutter goes away when he's onstage, and he becomes a standup comic.
* ThereIsOnlyOneBed: Camille goes with Franck to visit his family, and is taken aback when the guest room has only one bed. She blames him for giving his family the impression that they're in a relationship. Surprisingly they do ''not'' have sex, although they do have a long TalkingInBed conversation where they get to know each other better.
-->'''Camille''': Only one bed!\\
'''Franck''': This is not a hotel.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Philbert finds a seriously ill Camille in her garret. He carries her downstairs and into his apartment. Franck comes out of his room, sees his roommate carrying a strange woman in his arms...and then Franck goes into the kitchen for something to eat.
