Synopsis

"Give a little, get a lot," so they say. For François, giving a little is giving too much. Talented first violinist with the local orchestra, 40ish François Gautier has one major flaw: He's a penny pincher. He times himself under the shower--which, of course, he takes cold. He uses the streetlights to illuminate the rooms of his house. He watches the neighbor's TV through binoculars. He prepares exact lengths of toilet paper for future use. François has no social life. His only friend is his bank manager. Buying drinks for colleagues in the orchestra nearly kills him. Inviting a lady to dinner is torture. But the new cellist, Valérie, doesn't see François the penny pincher, she hears and falls for François the virtuoso violoncellist. Then 16-year-old Laura walks into François's life and announces that she is his daughter. She thinks that her father is the wealthy benefactor of a children's charity in Mexico. Now François has one major flaw and two major problems: Valérie and Laura both love him for what he is not. François plays along, but a single slip could cost him very, very dearly.

Another disappointing aspect of the soundtrack is its lack of memorable themes or melodies. The music fails to leave a lasting impression and feels like background noise rather than a crucial element of the film. Without strong musical motifs to anchor the narrative, the overall impact of the soundtrack is significantly diminished.
