THE COACH DESPITE HIMSELF

TODAY, THE DOCTOR DESPITE HIMSELF IS CALLED A COACH

Léon, chronically unemployed, spends more time at the bistro than looking for a job. His nonchalant attitude annoys his companion Martine to the highest point, she who works to ensure all the couple’s expenses. The case turns to the domestic quarrel when she is forced to dislodge him from his cafe to send him to respond to a job offer.

Enraged, thanks to a fortuitous meeting with a certain Mouloud, she sets up a scheme to take revenge for her man’s provocations: she will have him hired, despite himself, as a life coach for the daughter of Mouloud’s boss. The scheme works, and even well beyond what she had imagined.

Léon quickly understands the interest of the situation and here he is like a fish in water in his role as coach. Seeing Leon’s financial results, Martine is quick to follow suit. By the way, she will take the opportunity to help Lucille, whom her father is trying to put in the arms of a businessman.
