As Fougerole promotes his new novel “Open Arms” in a televised debate, inviting the wealthy to welcome the needy into their homes, his opponent challenges him to implement what he advocates in his book. Cornered and stung to the quick, Fougerole takes his opponent at his word and accepts the challenge so as not to lose face. But the very same evening, someone rings the doorbell of his sumptuous house in Marnes-la-coquette. The Fougerole’s convictions will be put to the test!
