A mother and her two daughters wait at home for the judge to arrive and officially declare the death of the father of the family, an internationally renowned poet who disappeared two years ago while hunting in Africa.

The declaration of his death also means the loss of his multimillion-dollar inheritance. Hours before the judge's arrival, a pastry chef arrives at the house to deliver an order and notices, upon seeing some photos, that the poet bears a striking resemblance to a local mechanic. The pastry chef will radically change the events in a very amusing way.
