A lighthearted spy comedy about a mundane civil servant whose secret double life as an agent threatens to unravel, balancing humor with modest adventure and romantic intrigue.

To his family, François Voisin is nothing more than a humdrum civil servant. In truth, for the past twenty years he has been working as a secret agent. All goes well until circumstances put his secret in danger.
