action
Joséphine is 30 years old and single. She lives with her cat Brad Pitt and is looking for the man of her dreams. At a family dinner, Diane, her younger sister who appears perfect in all things, announces that she is soon to be married. This is the drop that makes the barrel overflow with Joséphine. Filled with jealousy, she claims that she will marry a Brazilian surgeon named Marcelo and live with him in his homeland. This lie gets more and more out of control and turns your life upside down.
Alexandra, the HR manager of the company where Joséphine works, overhears a conversation between Joséphine and her friend Chloé. Anyway, charged with preparing some redundancies, she seizes her chance and fires Joséphine. Joséphine's friends buy her a plane ticket to Brazil. Shortly before departure, Joséphine has a panic attack and is taken to the hospital. Friends and family do not notice this and, after all, the luggage is sent incorrectly.
Joséphine decides not to clear up the deception and hides in her apartment, which Chloé has meanwhile sublet to her colleague Gilles. Although Joséphine thought Gilles was cumbersome and boring at first, she gradually began to enjoy him.
When Joséphine's luggage finds its way back to the apartment, Gilles reveals the game of hide-and-seek and calls her friends. In false tears, Joséphine tells that Marcelo has died, but Gilles and her friends don't believe the story and leave them angrily.
Joséphine confesses her love to Gilles, but he cannot forgive her for the lies. Joséphine finds out that Aymeric, her sister's groom, has betrayed her and with this message breaks up the wedding. Diane believes her and they both flee church together.
In between, Gilles managed to forgive Joséphine and went to her apartment. At the door he is greeted by Julien, an ex-boyfriend of Joséphine's who was thrown out by his wife and who found refuge with Joséphine. Gilles, who suspects an affair between Julien and Joséphine, leaves disappointed. When Joséphine learns that Gilles is coming by, she runs after him to convince him of her love for him. While the credits roll, the audience sees that Joséphine's friends have forgiven her and that she is living with Gilles.
