Plot

When you're recently widowed, it is difficult to get used to your new life… This is the case with Hubert Jacquin, who spends most of his time in his huge apartment, feeling depressed, staring at his TV set. One day, after a misunderstanding, his life changes. Manuela, a young and bubbly adventurer in search of an apartment, calls to his home. At first reluctant, Hubert quickly gets used to the presence of this energy storm, who even manages to convince two other people to stay: Paul-Gérard, whose wife has left him, and Marion, a hospital nurse. These three roommates cause Hubert many surprises…
