SYNOPSIS Baptiste is a brilliant celebrity impersonator, but he can't make a living from it. One day he meets Pierre Chozène, a famous writer whose daily life is constantly interrupted by calls from his editor, his daughter, his ex-wife... Pierre, who needs peace and quiet to write his new novel, proposes that Baptiste become his "answering machine," impersonating him on the phone... But things get complicated when Baptiste gets too caught up in the character and starts making his own decisions.
