Plot Synopsis
Storyline
François Pignon, a very bland sort of man who works as an accountant in a rubber factory, is about to be fired. His new neighbour comes up with an idea to prevent such a thing to happen: he spreads the rumor that he's gay so that the factory management might be afraid they'll be sued for sexual discrimination. Of course, nothing happens as it should, but the changes in François Pignon's life -and other people's too- is drastic ! Written by Anonymous

Frances Verber has a sharp eye and ear in capturing contemporary French attitudes and lingo for his charming screenplay, "Le Placard." Further, he's gone on to direct this comedy of mores with great aplomb.
The cast he's garnered, headed by Daniel Auteuil, is a joy to watch, each member displaying nice comic timing, and making this lightweight romp a treat. When one has the good fortune to see this film in a full theatre with a sophisticated audience, one can enjoy a fun event that really takes off.
A toast to you, M. Verber, and all of your jolly cast and crew of "Le Placard."
