Lucien, a headstrong pensioner in his 80s, struggles with growing old and with the four women who surround him.

Lucien is in his eighties but that doesn't stop him from being stubborn. Following his wife's death he refuses to stay any longer at Gerda's, his fretful 40-year old daughter. He moves back into his empty house where Mathilde, his best friend's voluptuous wife who he's been having a secret affair with for years now, gives him a hand with the housekeeping. But Lucien soon discovers how hard it is to be alone. The only relationship that he truly cares about is that with his sprightly granddaughter Julie. But she will soon leave for Paris to continue her studies. When Lucien meets his new neighbour Sylvia, he is getting more and more intrigued by this interesting woman. Thanks to Sylvia Lucien manages to start a new life. She teaches him new tricks for the household, takes him to the supermarket and gives him his first computer lesson. But when their friendship reaches a point of no return, Lucien takes a radical decision...
Lucien, un octogénaire pensionné et têtu, se bat contre la vieillesse et contre les quatre femmes qui l’entourent.
