A warm, comedic portrait of two underachieving men whose chaotic friendship becomes the emotional anchor of their otherwise directionless lives.

Antoine is a failed and depressed writer. Fred doesn't do much in his life and seems to be happy about it. The two of them share an apartment and live in a shambles. The adventures and mostly the misadventures of these two buddies/losers, makes them realise that despite everything that happens their friendship is the most important thing in their lives.
