35-year-old single farmer Julie hires African immigrant Djibril to help on the farm. What's more, she also asks him to pose as her fiancé. Anything to put off her mother Huguette, who has just moved into the house and is nagging her about finding a husband. Although willing, Djibril is in over his head with the farm work, and not keen about lying to Huguette, which annoys strong-minded Julie.
