Talented violinist François Gautier has a major flaw: his extreme frugality. He times himself under the shower, uses streetlights to illuminate his home, and watches his neighbor's TV through binoculars. His only social interaction is with his bank manager. However, his life changes when he meets new cellist Valérie, who falls for his musical talent, and 16-year-old Laura, who claims to be his daughter and thinks he's a wealthy benefactor. As François navigates these relationships, he must keep up the illusion of being someone he's not, or risk losing everything.
Penny Pincher!
A miserly individual's life is turned upside down when he discovers he has a daughter, revealing a costly family secret.
