Can you announce you've won the lottery to friends who have just lost a loved one? Would you be ready to give a lot of money to save the life of someone you don't know? These are two of the questions Julie and Rémi will have to answer at Clément and Jessica's, where they should never have gone that evening... Who will be the "jambon" in the farce? At first, Rémi and Julie just wanted to stop by quickly at their friends' place to celebrate their good news: they have won the lottery! But Clément and Jessica have just found out they've lost someone close and think their friends are there to support them. Caught in an evening they hoped would be joyful, Rémi and Julie decide not to reveal the reason for their visit and to lie as best as they can... But not very well! Guilt, pettiness, bad faith, unspoken truths one person's happiness makes another's misery, for our greatest pleasure... But when they learn that the deceased is not quite dead and it is still possible to save them with the lottery winnings, they will have to decide! Who will be the jambon in the end?
