Lars von Trier now enters the world of documentary filmmaking. Together with Danish documentary film veteran Jorgen Leth, Trier takes on the task of challenging conventional ways of documentary and film production.

The always popular Gerard Depardieu (102 Dalmatians, Vatel) stars in a warmly engaging comedy that shows how one little white lie can change everything! A dull and lonely accountant working at a condom factory, Francois (Daniel Auteuil) meekly endures office jokes and backroom whispers that he's about to be fired...usually instigated by his loutish coworker Felix (Depardieu). But that all changes when a rumor about him spreads around the office! Much to his surprise, this funny falsehood becomes the catalyst that sends Francois' life on an unexpected and hilarious turn for the better! As this outrageous, critically acclaimed story unfolds, you'll laugh along with Francois as he keeps this improbable charade going in an inspired bid to save his job and transform his life!

About to get fired for being boring, an accountant concocts a "new life" for himself as an openly gay man, and suddenly everything changes for him.
