Veteran Belgian comedian Benoît Poelvoorde stars as Jean-Yves, a self-absorbed conceptual artist who moves to a seaside village hoping to reinvent himself. Embraced by the town’s quirky creative community—including flirtatious gallerist Cécile (Camille Cottin) and congenial plein-air painter Claude (François Damiens)—Jean-Yves finds himself pulled into interpersonal dramas as well as jokes that may be at his own expense.
