The Plot :

Richard Biqueton has worked for Shekels Brothers and Sisters for more than 25 years; his sole obsession is to gain promotion. That evening his Chairman, the feared and ruthless Alexander Shekels accepts his invitation to dinner at home: a unique opportunity to fulfil his ambition. He insists that his wife, Cybèle, and his son and daughter be present at this meal and that their behaviour should be irreproachable for the desired outcome. Alexander Shekels, confirmed bachelor, falls madly in love with Cybèle and wants to launch the first family takeover bid in history by proposing to buy wife and children, lock, stock and barrel. Cybèle is an abandoned wife in her husband’s eyes but is seduced by the charm of this unusual man. Her two children consider him to be the ideal father: rich and powerful. Will anyone dare to launch a counter takeover bid to sabotage Alexander’s plan?
