Synopsis: Most people would see it as a bonus to be sent a few days to the Côte d'Azur to solve a smaller routine case, but for the righteous, extremely self-controlled and dull lawyer Michael Helge it is more like a punishment. Sun, sand, and sea are not things that appear on his top ten list. The case is supposedly just a simple divorce, but as soon as Michael Helge sets feet on French soil, everything goes wrong. He gets hustled for 10 million kroner of the company's money, and suddenly the future looks less bright. Fortunately, he meets his old friend, the frivolous gambler Theo, and together they plan how to get all the money back in a true James Bond style...

documents. Bottom right-hand corner.

Are you enjoying yourself

down here?

You will get my signature

as soon as -

- my firm's bank has confirmed

the agreement-

- that you have transferred the money

to your sex wife ex-wife's account.

Hang on. We were supposed to settle

this once and for all at this meeting.

It's a matter of procedure. Everything

will be settled in a couple of days.

Look, I've transferred 10 million

to my wife's account.

You know French banks.

It may take several weeks before she

gets the money. I need a guarantee.

- Calm down, Bob.

- No.

We're here because you've got it into

your head that you want a divorce.

And now we have to waste

our time on procedure -

- because they sent a trainee.

You're not authorized to do anything.

Or do you want me

to contact Winther Schmidt?

One call,

and he'll solve this issue on the spot.

Absolutely not.

I've decided to deviate

from my principles.

I'm choosing to sign this.

That means

that within an hour or so -

- the money will be

in your ex-wife's account.

I'm afraid I'll have to pass

on the seafood.

Thank you for an orderly meeting.

I'm extremely busy.

- I have to push on.

- Bye.

- There's a

- Thank you.

Hi, Lydia.

- I'm on my way home.

- Why?

I know your dad wants me to stay,

but I've had it.

- Hang on.

- Is anything wrong?

- I'm back.

- Don't you know how to relax?

- Sure I do.

- You sound so

Let's do that giant puzzle

when I come home.

- Monsieur!

- Call you back, pumpkin.

Yes, Winther?

Hello, Dad.

- Have you got a handle on it?

- Everything's just fine.

- You talked to our French bank?

- Correct.

The situation is this -

- that we've contacted

our French bank -

- to use their credit facilities to pay

Marianne La Cour her DKK 10 million.

The money's been paid, but the bank

has no knowledge of any La Cour.

So our French bank hasn't

been able to verify -

- Bob La Cour's account details?

No, so the firm is missing

10 million.

Our French bank can't verify

Bob La Cour's account numbers'?

- No, we're missing 10 million.

- That's some pickle.

But luckily

I'm right here on a beach -

- with Marianne La Cour and Bob.

I'll talk to them right away

and get to the bottom of this.

- I need your Porsche.

- Sorry, and you are?

- Theo, I need a car.

- Oh, Melge. Hello.

I'm in the middle of a business

meeting with two new colleagues

- Louise and...

- Sille.

I don't have time to reminisce

with you, so please leave.

Theo

I may have lost 10 million.

But I've got an address.

Theo.

Let's shake Herlufsholm style.

I thought you had a Porsche.

The scooter's making a din.

Come again?

I thought you had a Porsche.

- This is it.
