A time-travel comedy that contrasts 1950s simplicity with modern complexity, using displaced characters to explore themes of progress, purpose, and adaptation.

In 1950s France, Helene and Michel lead a simple life until a freak accident in 2025 leads to Helene becoming a bank executive and Michel struggling with unemployment and depression. Their children grow up in a technology-dominated world.
