Caught by tabloid paparazzi with his mistress Elena, a famous and beautiful fashion model, billionaire Pierre Levasseur tries to avoid a divorce by inventing a preposterous lie.

Pignon is a modest little man who works as a parking valet. To make the story convincing, Elena has to move in with Pignon.
