Plot
Brice Agostini, a cocksure and wealthy but also child-like grown man with a Point Break obsession, lives an idle life in Nice, spending his days in the sea with a surf board waiting for a wave. Even though Nice lies on a completely waveless bay on the Mediterranean Sea, Brice hopes that one day a tidal wave will hit as one did in 1979. In the evenings, he hosts massive parties in his luxury property where he defeats all challengers in "casse" (witty put-downs) competitions. He also likes to seduce women but does not appear to know what to do with them. He dreams regularly of finding love with a mermaid.
