Valentin’s blunders and indifference to young women worry his father, who thinks it is time for his son to find a wife.

The story

Julien Blaise worries that his only son, Valentin, takes no interest in anything—not even young women. Valentin works as a waiter at a luxury hotel where his father is head waiter, and keeps making blunders. Julien thinks it is time for his son to find a wife, but the prospect is daunting given Valentin’s foolish, boorish nature and insensitivity to the beauties of life and love.

Full plot (contains spoilers)

Julien Blaise is worried: his only son, Valentin, is interested in nothing, not even young women. A waiter at a luxury hotel where his father works as head waiter, Valentin keeps making blunders. It is high time he found himself a wife… A tall order when one is as charming, sensual, and well-brought-up as one’s son is foolish, boorish, and utterly insensitive to the beauties of life… and love.
