Fatal error! Terrified at the idea of not being up to scratch, his wife Colette begs Alexandre, their neighbor, to help them. A communications guru, Alexandre rises to the challenge and gives the couple a new look in tweinty-four hours. The apartment, decor, lifestyle, dinner menu, outfits, general culture – everything goes through the mill!
