A talented eternal student moves to Paris under pressure to work, but his own ambition is to do nothing.
The story
Sébastien, a talented 29-year-old eternal student, is pushed by his parents to enter the working world. He moves to Paris, where he shares a home with Anna, who cycles through publishing internships, and Bruno, who gets by on a succession of odd jobs. While his new housemates are navigating precarious work, Sébastien has a very different goal: he wants to do nothing and continue living as he chooses. The setup places his reluctance to work against the expectations pressing on him and the working lives unfolding around him.
