Madame Irma

Francis, who is in his forties, manages the French subsidiary of an American high-tech company. Overnight, however, the shareholders decide to close the French company, because it is too expensive and not profitable. For Francis, who is used to the lifestyle of a CEO (4 wheel drive car, company mobile phone, holidays in Bali, etc.), it means rethinking completely his life.
Depressed by the idea of being unemployed and the prospect of losing his second wife, Clotilde, he decides to consult a fortune-teller. The experience is a real eye-opener for him and the start of a new career.
Accompanied by his childhood friend Ludovic, a doctor who leads a very settled existence and who keeps trying to dissuade him, Francis decides to take a “crash course” in fortune-telling, frequenting specialised salons and Internet sites.
Francis has decided to change his way of life: no more suits and ties, no more spacious office with a secretary, he will be self-employed, wear a wig and work from a caravan: he will be Madame IRMA.
But he finds it hard-going at the beginning and the lies build up. How can he get Clotilde to accept his new career? How can he convince his clients of his talents as a fortune-teller?
Francis learns quickly and his work proves to be very enriching, in every sense of the word.
However, he has several surprises in store for him and finds himself in a series of situations which are both disconcerting and captivating when he is consulted by members of his family circle.
Since, although no-one admits it, studies prove that more than two-thirds of us have consulted a fortune-teller at one time or another.
