Have you ever heard your goldfish speak? That’s what happens to 50-year-old real estate agent Olivier, who has been strapped for money since his divorce. He was surprised to find out that his late mother left him a ramshackle apartment building in Paris, where his best friend and lawyer Philippe then had a fatal accident. And ever since then he has been hearing Philippe’s goldfish talk. His worries about his father Rémi, his teenage daughter Sophie, and his conflict with the building’s last remaining tenant, seem practically banal by comparison. Until suddenly Olivier finds himself returned to the past of his childhood.
