A lighthearted romantic comedy about a miserly man whose life transforms when he falls in love and discovers a hidden daughter, forcing him to confront his stinginess through escalating lies and their costly consequences.

François Gautier is stingy! Saving puts the joy, it causes pay sweats. His life is set for the sole purpose of never spend anything. A life that will switch in one day: he falls in love and discovers he has a daughter he did not know existed. Forced to lie in order to hide his terrible default, this will be the beginning for François problems. Because lie can sometimes be expensive. Very expensive…
