Arthur and César are two childhood friends, very close despite very different personalities. One is a rather good student, homebody and happy in the household, despite a divorce. The other leads a disjointed life but remains positive. Following an accident, Caesar uses Arthur's social security coverage because Caesar does not have any. Arthur discovers while reading the results that his friend has only a few months left to live. He prepares to tell him but Caesar remains convinced that it is Arthur who is ill. Despite great financial problems, César will then lead his friend on crazy adventures in order to enjoy the rest of his life.
