Mike (Michel in his passport) has just got together with Zoé when the reality of living in New York comes knocking at his door. He has three days to find $2500 and get a Green Card, or else he’ll be on his way out of there.
The old habit of stealing is no longer an option, so he cleans up other people’s dog-do and waters rooftop gardens. It brings in less but it’s honest work. Mike wants to stay and convince Zoé of the virtues of the finer things of la vie française.
