The Crisis
Victor's wife leaves him, and on the same day he loses his job. Depressed, he tries to find someone to listen to his grief, but the only person ready to show some empathy is the simple-minded Michou whom Victor finds irritating. When Victor finds out one morning that his wife has left him and neglected to at least buy milk for the kids, he finds that things can only get worse when he's fired from his job on the same day. He ends up searching through a list of friends and family for someone who will listen to his grief and give some advice. The only person who does give him attention is Michou, a clumsy, not-too-intelligent street pauper whom Victor finds irritating. Victor finally sees Michou in a positive light when he realizes that his insensitivity to those closest to him has been a major reason for all his woes. —Javert5 Paris in the early 1990s: Victor, a wealthy lawyer, leads a seemingly perfect life - until he wakes up one morning and finds only a letter instead of his wife: She has left him. After the initial shock, he takes the two children and his mother-in-law to the train station as they are going on a skiing vacation. He then rushes to work, where the next blow awaits him: his dismissal from the law firm. The HR manager has no time for discussion and his wife immediately wants a divorce and starts terrorizing him on the phone. Victor is desperate and seeks solace from his friend Paul - but he is hopelessly overworked and is himself in a marital war with his wife, who is also threatening divorce. Victor barely manages to get a single word in during their loud argument. After further failed attempts to make himself heard, Victor finally ends up in a bar where he meets Michou, a hard-drinking vagabond who listens to him. After the conversation, Michou never leaves his side and accompanies Victor from one crazy situation to the next in his search for understanding and the reason why his wife has left him. —Arte
