The urbane Pierre has it all: money from his job as a successful publisher, a beautiful wife, an adoring mistress and numerous friends. He also has an unusual pastime…every Tuesday he and his friends dine with a different so-called “fool”. It is this that brings Pierre into contact with the finest example of a fool he believes he has ever met: François, an accountant for the Inland Revenue, whose only passion in life stems from matchstick models. When the paths of these two unlikely dinner companions cross, the result is unexpected and hilarious.
