Magazine editors go with the photos even though the dominant figure in them is a chubby football fan. "So let him sue." When the magazine appears, the fan, Franck Bordoni, is fired since he was supposed to be at work. Bordoni comes to the magazine where, by coincidence, he meets Verdier. Verdier says he knows how to make some money. They go to a restaurant where Johnny Hallyday is leaving. Verdier has Bordoni take pictures with a cheap camera. When the celebrity assaults the patsy and smashes his camera ... Verdier gets some very lucrative shots. They get a tip that Isabelle Adjani has left her house. They arrive; Verdier pays off Adjani's neighbour. Verdier searches her garbage. Adjani has left for L.A. Verdier follows her, entrusting his keys to Bordoni. At Verdier's apartment, Bordoni takes a call for someone to shoot vanity photos of a millionaire's party. Bordoni goes there. As a photographer... —David Carless

    A Different Kind of Movie
    This is not exactly a comedy movie, but it has a lot of humor, this is a different movie, not like others, this is a very good movie, a must see. Is about a "Man" that lose his job after being photographed by a Paparazzi, by mistake and then, the story begin when that "Man" is looking for that Paparazzi, but then he takes a different style of life. (where we can see humor, drama, suspense, and everything else)
