When he loses his job as a well-paid manager in a large company, 40-something Francis is at a loss over what to do next.  Unable to break the news to his wife, he keeps up the pretence that he still has a job.  Out of desperation, he decides to consult a fortune teller to see what the future holds for him.  This experience gives him a brainwave.   Why shouldn't he become a fortune teller?  All he has to do is hire a caravan, dress up as a mysterious Rumanian woman and utter a few enigmatic platitudes to gullible clients.  As Madame Irma, Francis discovers a new lease of life...
