C'est la vie!

Max is a battle-weary veteran of the wedding-planning racket. His latest — and last — gig is a hell of a fête, involving stuffy period costumes for the caterers, a vain, hyper- sensitive singer who thinks he's a Gallic James Brown, and a morose, micromanaging groom determined to make Max's night as miserable as possible. But what makes the affair too bitter to endure is that Max's colleague and ostensible girlfriend, Joisette, seems to have written him off, coolly going about her professional duties while openly flirting with a much younger server. It's going to be a very long night… especially once the groom's aerial serenade gets underway.

The Strategy of Failure

My various experiences in the field of failure have allowed me to highlight specific areas in which it is crucial to get disorganized and to recognize the steps to be taken to end in ineffective management. This sentence is totally incomprehensible. It's normal. The longer the sentences, the less we understand them. It is the strategy of failure. To help us understand the failure and illustrate this video, we will need two men who we will call Luc for further misunderstanding. We will also need a woman whom we will call Sylvie for hygiene reasons.
