A lighthearted romantic comedy about an eccentric husband's playful schemes to rekindle passion in his long marriage through elaborate pranks and anonymous letters.

Hippolyte, the titular oddball, is a far from typical country lawyer. He has been happily married to the woman of his dreams for 15 years, but has an incurable penchant for practical (or rather impractical) jokes.
