So far, Alexis's life has been a long succession of disasters and disappointments.  A failed actor with a penchant for horror movies, he now works as a night watchman at a depot.  His love life has been as lacklustre as his professional life, until he meets Laura.  The latter uses all her guile and feminine charms to remould Alexis, changing him from a retarded adolescent into a dutiful family man.  But is this what Alexis needs to be happy...?
