Plot

The main character is an anonymous 30-year old Parisian (he celebrates his 30th birthday in the 46th episode). He is also unemployed and single. He uses “I” to talk about himself, and his name is never revealed to the audience. His life is boring until he meets a girl at a party who unintentionally seduces him, especially with her eyes. As soon as the party is over, his only wish is to see her again. Many of the show's episodes are devoted to his failed attempts at meeting up with her or really connecting.

The hero sometimes looks for a job, and finally gets a one-on-one interview in a copying machine company. Despite a catastrophic interview that revealed all the lies about his CV, he gets the job. Nevertheless, exasperated by his workmates and bored by the job, he quits. Thereafter, he works in a call center (Telecom 3000).

He keeps going to a lot of parties to meet girls and has a series of one night stands. He also has a one-off sexual encounter with his ex -girlfriend and later with a girl who turned him down when he was a teenager. Meanwhile he regularly meets “Marla”, his sexfriend.

In order to seduce more girls, he learns how to play the guitar. At the beginning, it was just a way to hit on girls but it soon becomes a hobby, and he finally performs at concert, using the stage name “Amer de toi” (Bitter about you).

The hero and his brother Keyvan are really close, to such an extent that they understand each other at a simple glance and hardly need to talk to communicate. “I” often calls his brother to get advice or to be reassured. Their parents get divorced because of the unfaithfulness of the father, who had an affair with a student. After realizing that his love for the student is not reciprocated, the narrator's father ends up alone before settling in his son's flat, much to the chagrin of the later. Finally, the father moves into another flat in the same apartment block.

Keyvan decides to move in with the love of his life and therefore enables “I” to occupy his flat after a catastrophic flat sharing with Baptiste, who never does any housework or tidies up. But fate is not on his side. Keyvan’s girlfriend decides to break up, and so the hero has to live with his father because Baptiste has already found a new room-mate.

The hero is still in love with “this girl” (Sarah), and approaches her bit by bit. He despairs of ever making a real connection with her until the day she invites him to come over. They eventually kiss each other. They start a relationship and settle in a new flat. At that very moment, Marla is looking for “I”, and ends up meeting Sarah. Facing to them, “I” has to make a choice and decides to stay with Sarah.

Over time, “I” and Sarah become distant from one another, and after getting drunk at a bar, he cheats on her. He keeps it as a secret until another party, where he unleashes his anger and confesses his resentment against his friends and finally hit a man who was not invited. He leaves the party and tries to renew his relationship with Marla, but she has already found herself another man. Finally, after a depression, “I” moves in with Baptiste again and resumes the boring life he had before meeting Sarah.
