Life is good for Romuald Blindet (Daniel Auteuil), the CEO of a yogurt company. Or so he thinks. Reality crashes down on him when he finds out his wife is having an affair, and one of his most bitter competitors at work fingers him for corporate impropriety. Romuald winds up finding a sympathetic ally in a black cleaning woman, Juliette (Firmine Richard), mother of five children, who works in the office after hours. He eventually moves in with her, and the two plot revenge.

Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) The writer/director organizes a sparkling comedy about innocence triumphing over plutocracy. [Full review in Spanish] Dec 2, 2022 Full Review Hilary Mantel The Spectator You do not have to believe in the ending, you simply have to hope that it could be so; this is a shrewd fairy-tale, aware of the transforming power of money as well as the transforming power of love.

John G Astonishing that this has been forgotten. It is one of the great romantic comedies. The last act is joyous - but the whole thing is brilliantly and briskly done. A classic. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Audience Member not as amazing as beautiful green at all, but i still love the light inside that coline serreau leaves you with Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Ridicule parfois.
