Born on a Friday, the thirteenth, at the Franz Kafka Clinic, Gregoire is, at the age of 35, ungainly, anxious, and shy with women. He looks like a blend between Woody Allen and Peter Sellers. He still lives with his mother and an alcoholic uncle and works as a humble employee in an insurance company. His life changes completely when, one Sunday, he meets flighty Odile, a dance teacher for children, an avid reader of romantic books. At great cost and using unbelievable subterfuge, he contrives to make an appointment with Odile, but gets the day wrong (the finals in the World Football Cup, in 1998) and the place wrong (a bar named Penalty crowded with fanatic fans). A whirl of misunderstanding, faux pas and heated arguments, are to transform the small encounter into a catastrophe. So much so that Gregoire Moulin, with little patience for people, declares war on the world.
