The dull life of a few supermarket employees is determined by two important aspects: hating their awful boss, Blocq, and the continuous bullying and exploiting of their poor, fate-stricken co-worker Estelle. Their uneventful workdays are disturbed by an unexpected announcement made by their boss: Blocq is suffering from an incurable illness, and he wants to leave all his companies to his employees, on the condition that they commemorate him in some way every year. Estelle suggests that they adapt Blocq’s life to the stage together…
