Synopsis

Five women drag a nice guy (Francis) in a series of incredible adventures in which a 2 million dollar lottery ticket, hungry tigers and a flask of chloroform don't mix well. Overwhelmed by completely twisted characters : a crazy Ex-girlfriend, unfaithful twins, a dangerous criminal, a whimsical wife, a neighbor who has lost her mind and a crooked brother-in-law, Francis will have to go beyond all appearances in order to get out of trouble and convince a relentless detective that he's really innocent.

With a carefully deconstructed narrativity, an unusually surprising plot, award winning actors, and uniquely innovative end credits, this independent Dramedy really stands out with a refreshing style and a subtle humor of its own.
