action

Benoît is worried about the family's finances . In his opinion, his father earns far too little money. And so he decides to make money himself. He found an article in the newspaper about a fourteen-year-old girl who became a millionaire through her own company. If a girl a few years older than him can do this, so can he. Together with his friend Charles, he wants to start a company that offers work in the neighborhood.

First, the start-up capital must be obtained. Benoît gets this through flea market sales . Charles, on the other hand, learns from his father that it is always more profitable to let other people's money work for you. So he takes a chain from his mother and transfers it to the pawnbroker. Since he still lacks money, he borrows it from Chloe. She is the leader of a children's group that also provides services in the neighborhood. Cloe's asking pretty high interest on the money.

First of all, business is going well. However, Benoît insists on investing most of the money back in the company, and so Charles lacks the money to repay his borrowed money and start the chain. And Benoît doesn't know that Charles just borrowed the money. Charles then borrows money from Marie, who also wants to become a partner in the company. Marie's dream is to become a reporter. Therefore she documents the development of the company.

Meanwhile, Cloe is not at all enthusiastic about the competition . Therefore, she lets the work of the "scrubbing pass" sabotage. So she has to pay back a lot of money. In addition, money has been withdrawn from the business account. One quickly suspects Charles because he had borrowed money, which the others have since learned. Therefore, this is expelled from the company. Marie finally learns that Benoît has taken the money. With it, he paid early on the debts his father owed to the grocer. His father would have paid the money a few days later. Marie then leaves the company, leaving Benoît alone. Marie is so angry that she wants to make a damning report about Benoît.

Benoîts father then explains to his son that money alone is not everything. He has angered all of his friends by being too capitalist . Benoît then works hard to pay off all of his company's debts. Then he reconciles with his friends again. And Charles also learned his lesson that you have to work hard if you want to achieve something. In the end, Marie also realizes that everything always has two sides and that you have to take this into account in honest journalism .
