    Can ten million euros change life for an ordinary man ?

    It is the dream of so many people, being an ordinary person, and suddenly becoming rich in only one day. What would you do with 10 unexpected million euros/dollars ?

    The hero, Aldo has a little problem : he's just divorcing and doesn't want any cent of this fortune to end in the pocket of his future-ex wife, so he has to wait until the divorce is pronounced. A so big secret is very hard to keep. How can he change his life while apparently continuing the previous one ? What about his friends ? That's all the subject of this film, with an good scenario, an excellent Jean-Pierre Darroussin, very funny situations and dialogs. A film which make you rich for almost two hours.
