Synopsis
There are three of them, in love with fine things, women, when they don't stay too long, and their freedom… Pierre, Jacques and Michel share a luxurious apartment. Jacques, a steward, flies off to Japan for three weeks, leaving a message for his two flat-mates: "A friend's going to drop off a package that he'll pick up later…" Pierre and Michel are stunned to find themselves "nannies" to a baby left in a basket on their doormat. Is this Jacques' package? It has to be. Things start to get complicated when a second package is delivered… This annoying "surprise", a source of misunderstandings, will throw their lives into turmoil. No longer free and happy-go-lucky men, they become suspects hounded by the police and… attentive and concerned fathers !
