Jean‑Philippe Ecoffey stars as Yves, an erratic night‑shift police officer who secretly turns to petty crime by day to impress Aurore, a nurse (Aurelle Doazan) he idolizes from afar. Though she already has a boyfriend, Yves robs a post office and later tries to run over her lover, actions that finally land him in serious trouble, all delivered with an off‑beat, original comedy‑drama humor.
