Lonely and detached, Our Hero is a man who earns a better than average income as a computer programmer, but lives alone, has no friends and hasn't had sex in two years. When Our Hero is paired with similarly dispostioned Raphael Tisserand, a 28-year-old virgin, to work on a computer training seminar, the pair inevitably get on each other's nerves.
