Synopsis by Clarke Fountain
When a real-estate promoter attempts to take over the homes of two electronics whizzes and boot them out, they contrive ingenious ways to inconvenience and harass him. Louise (Catherine Deneuve) specializes in robots and artificial intelligence, and Leo (Claude Brasseur) makes miniature machines. By pooling their knowledge, they are able to pull off a crucial robbery using a very special box of chocolates. The bond they form while fighting their common enemy transforms into one of love. Despite their victory over the tycoon, they accept the patronage of an Arab king and leave for a place where their unusual skills are appreciated.
