Vincent is a minister in power, not too ugly, good drinker, eater, pretty mistress.
As soon as he loses his job, she drops him.
Then Vincent starts living again. Little by little, he enters milieus he had forgotten or never known, discovers or rediscovers simple joys, and at last he gets to know the people he led for so long by totally ignoring them.

This apprenticeship to life at an inappropriate age will be an occasion for droll scenes, funny and cruel...
