But he is growing tired of this existence and can’t stop thinking about Alice, the woman he loved at college: a lively, socially engaged woman full of ideals… who was never interested in him.

To reconnect with her, Max buys the factory and then pretends to be an ordinary worker. Ready to do anything, he spares no expense to make Alice and her son Valentin happy and improve conditions for all the factory workers.
