Unable to tell his family about his firing, Vincent spends his workdays driving around the French countryside - "business trips" he tells his wife - keeping intact the reassuring routine of going to work and coming home to his wife and kids. As his family grows suspicious of his evasive behavior, Vincent is forced to spin a new tale, pretending to get a job working for the U.N. In a bid to keep the money coming in, he recruits old friends to invest in an imaginary emerging-markets investment scheme. Vincent also falls in with Jean-Michel, a black market dealer whose ignominious past serves as an ominous warning for Vincent's present course. Despite his efforts to maintain an undisturbed surface, Vincent's wife begins to suspect something amiss.MPAA rating: PG-13 ; Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13 for sensuality.DVD; NTSC, region 1; widescreen (1.85:1) presentation enhanced for 16x9 televisions; Dolby digital 5.1 surround, 2.0 stereo sound.
