Synopsis

Paul Château-Têtard, a 45 year old boy and pure product of the 16th arrondissement of Paris, takes the metro for the first time in his life and falls in love with a young ticket collector, Ava.
Their marriage was not to the liking of "mother", Adélaïde Château-Têtard, who was also called the Queen Mother. However, the latter can live with it: an heir would be welcome. But the baby is late in coming...
A merciless war begins between the two women, the Queen Mother being convinced that Ava is cheating on her son. There must be a lover somewhere...
