Chômeur, hypocondriaque et dépressif, Paul, 40 ans, cumule les ennuis. Sa fille Roxane le méprise, son ancienne épouse le harcèle pour recevoir sa pension alimentaire et sa mère, pourtant riche, refuse de lui donner le moindre centime. Seul son chien, Néron, lui donne encore envie de vivre. A cela s'ajoute le fils de sa voisine, qui passe son temps à jouer au ballon sur son palier. Un jour, n'y tenant plus, Paul crève le ballon de l'enfant qui, en représailles, peint Néron en mauve. Avec Ashanti, la mère du garçon, rien ne va plus. Pourtant, quand Paul est menacé d'être expulsé, il doit passer un accord avec sa voisine et son fils. Un accord qui pourrait changer sa vie...
Unemployed, hypochondriac, depressive, Paul Morvan, 40 years old, accumulates all the handicaps. On top of this his daughter Roxane despises him, his ex-wife harasses him for the alimony, and finally his mother, Alzheimer and rich, refuses to give him a penny. The only thing that keeps him in touch with life is his faithful Nero, a bastard dog. As if he didn't have enough trouble, the son of the neighbor above, Ashanti, an African illegal immigrant, plays football on the landing all day long. Enough is enough. Paul breaks down and bursts the kid's ball, who in revenge paints Nero purple. The escalation begins, Paul calls the police. Ironically, although he thought he would get rid of his neighbors, he ends up looking after Léo and Bintou, Ashanti's children. Paul would love to bring them to the police station but Bintou, a sort of Harry Potter but slightly darker, holds Nero hostage and prevents him from doing so.
A vida está muito dura para Paul, o que o faz depressivo e amargo. Ele desconta tudo na vizinha Ashanti, que mora clandestinamente com os dois filhos no apartamento de cima.
