Marc (Creator/ClovisCornillac) and Emma (Creator/JulieDepardieu) are a married couple who inherit a house that's uninhabited for nearly 30 years. What they don't know is that the house's basement was a gay nightclub in TheSeventies, L'Ambigu. An explosion destroyed the club in 1979 in the middle of a foam party, and five partygoers perished. The five men still haunt the house as ghosts, and the only way they know how: as party animals. Only Marc can see them, and the visions he has progressively drive Emma to leave him, thinking he's crazy.
