Francis Lebovic, ex-thug converted into the sex industry, does not lack charm or elegance. David, his thirteen-year-old godson, accepts without too much enthusiasm Francis's offer to record a disc. His voice, associated with his physique, gives rise to hope. Francis will be able to repay his debts; Lino and Daisy, David's parents, will be able to do chores in their cafe. Everything would go wonderfully if Frédérique Henriot, a young lawyer, did not come and settle in the house where they all live, in this village in the center of Paris called the Marais.
