- Synopsis:
When Antoine (Thomas Blanchard) rings Camille's doorbell (Judith Chemla) she is waiting impatiently for the babysitter to arrive for her daughter Elsa (Lina Doillon) and is so surprised to see him that after a few silent glances the young woman slams the door in his face. But the urgency of needing to set off for a major business trip forces Camille to change her mind and she leaves Elsa with Antoine after running after him in the street and presenting him to Elsa as "one of mummy’s friends" ("he will take care of you until Olga arrives"). With the nanny yet to make an appearance, the young man must take care of the little girl, playing with her and her tricycle before taking her along with him (thanks to her mother's car) to settle a small familial matter. On the way back, the improbable duo realises that the keys are locked inside the house. Antoine takes Elsa back to his house, which Camille really does not like, informing him on the phone that ("you think you can just turn up like that and I'll leave Elsa with you") and demanding that Antoine take Elsa to her grandmother's house the next day. But the man and the little girl have slowly started to get to know and win each other over, and they're not done yet, fondly dancing around the open secret that connects them, slowly causing the masks to drop... - Actors:
