Having first lost his wife then his job as a tweed tailor, Alex Ponttin (Michel Serrault from ''Happiness is in the field'') has devised a novel way to keep himself in touch with society. He admits himself into people's homes, by pretending to be a relative or an official, and persuading his victims to give him a night's free board: He finds at first a lunch at the horrible couple Dumont (Jean-Pierre Bisson and Maike Jansen), where a thief follows him for a robbery. Alex spent an evening in front of TV at Marie (Marie-Christine Barrault from ''Cousin, cousine''), mother of seven children. He runs from Marie to find an evening and a new bed at the home of charming but shy lesbian Caroline (Claude Jade from ''Bed and Board (1970 film)'') and her funny lover Gloria (Corinne Le Poulain from ''The Provocation'').
Déambulations d'Alex, ex-chef tailleur dans un magasin des grands boulevards de Paris licencié il y a un an, dans le Paris des chômeurs où il a pris l'habitude, pour pallier à sa solitude et à son problème de logement, de choisir chaque soir un appartement dans Paris, au gré de ses goûts, et de s'y faire inviter pour la nuit.
