About the show:


His publisher is harassing him for the manuscript of his next novel, his numerous conquests leave him no time to rest, and living with his brother Léon, a puzzle enthusiast who doesn't seem to have the light in all his pockets, is starting to weigh on him.

When Vanessa, the new upstairs neighbor, arrives, it's the last straw! Incredibly intrusive, she's going to turn his life upside down!


But beware, false appearances and underhanded tricks are on the agenda in this unbridled comedy where the viewer will go from surprises to bursts of laughter!
