Aldo, a lowly hair products salesman, wins 10 million Euros in the lottery. The same day, however, he learns that his wife is cheating on him with his boss. In retaliation, he decides to say nothing of his fortune until after their divorce is finalized, and continues living a humble life despite his huge wealth. A sharp comedy in the vein of the recent French hit, The Closet.

"A cheerful family comedy, mixing humor and tenderness with a dash of cynicism about money and happiness... Truly a good, hearty laugh." -- Danielle Attali, Le Journal du Dimanche
