Cédric perd son emploi chez Ingénérie Québec après avoir fait une blague sexiste qui devient virale. Encouragé par son frère un intello bienpensant, Cédric entame une thérapie et écrit Sexist Story, un livre qui se veut révolutionnaire et s’attaque à la misogynie. Nadine, exaspérée par l’introspection de son chum, elle-même en manque de rêve et d’adrénaline, se laisse alors tenter par les jeux étonnants initiés par la mystérieuse baby-sitter.
Adapted from Catherine Léger’s stage play of the same name, this psychosexual comedy centres on Cédric (Patrick Hivon), who is suspended from work after drunkenly kissing a female reporter while on live TV. Stuck at home with his girlfriend, Nadine (Monia Chokri) and their crying baby, Cédric teams up with his brother, Jean-Michel (Steve Laplante), to co-author a book apologizing for their past misogyny. Enter Amy: a mysterious and provocative young babysitter who, like a Mary Poppins of the libido, forces the trio to confront their sexual anxieties while turning their lives upside down.
