Film Synopsis

A computer expert in a large company, Rémi Cerneaux returns to live with his mother after his recent divorce.  A possessive mother, she calls him repeatedly when he is at work, engages a private detective to follow him, and even plans to find him a new partner.  Rémi is not without charm but he is not the easiest man to seduce, as his colleague Elisabeth Martini discovers.  Unable to put up with his mother's harassment any longer, Rémi decides to take lodgings with the highly respectable Mademoiselle Villeneuve.  What he doesn't know is that, behind a show of piety, his landlady is an inveterate bank robber, and she intends pinning the blame for her latest hold-up on him...
