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...

Melge, man up.

This is awesome.

We've got two great girls over.

You're off work, and I'm smoking!

Excuse me for not being in the mood,

but I just lost 10 million.

That is a bum way to start the day.

- Hey, let's get a bet going.

- What about?

I bet you want to see the water bed.

You do?

You won!

Congrats!

Let's go see the water bed.

Melge, you take

the you-know-what.

Come along.

Well

Great party, huh?

Cheers.

Cheers.

So you're boarding-school buddies,

you and Theo?

Yes, we both went to Herlufsholm.

For three years.

- Sille is my cousin.

- I see.

Don't be alarmed,

but you've got a pony on your ass.

Like it?

I call it Fanny.

Hey, Melge!

Got a handle on the hand grenade?

Excuse me.

I'm just gonna wait here.

- They were f***ing down there?

- No, I didn't get that impression.

Oh no.

That's so Sille.

Michael Helge, from boarding school.

- Can I have pancakes?

- Yes! F***ing great idea.

- You're a drug addict.

- Chill out.

I do the odd line.

And a couple more for good measure.

It doesn't do the kid any harm.

It's just like having a dad

with jet lag. We've both tried that.

- I think it's irresponsible.

- Good thing you're babysitting today.

Me? I don't know anything about kids,

and they don't interest me at all.

I have some errands. Don't you want

me to check up on Bob and Marianne?

- Here come the pancakes.

- Thanks.

Who's this?

A police officer.

Hello, hello.

You're under arrest.

Theo?

Did I just wake up or ...?

I'm right here.

Good morning. Get any sleep?

- Dad, can I have some sugar?

- You have a son?

- Sure.

- Funny!

- Isn't it? That's him over there.

- Dad, can I have some sugar, please?

Listen up.

I bet each of you 10 euro

that's Marseilles.

Yes, and it was Marseilles.

I'm off.

See you in a couple of hours.

You want sugar.

Sugar, sugar

He's only got icing sugar.

We'll just have to make do.

Jam?

Thanks.

Good?

Want some for dunking?

Thanks.

I'm sure the two of us are gonna

have a nice and quiet day together.

Watch out!

Hey.

Look, Monet's water lilies.

Philip!

Wait, Monsieur.

Hey.

Great to see you here.

Have you seen

a little wound-up blond boy?

I just passed a boy chucking bottles
