After a fun night out, lawyer Diane arrives at her apartment only to realize she's lost
her cellphone. Thankfully, a man called Alexandre finds it and calls the number
saved as "home" on the contacts. He admits he saw her leave without the phone but he
didn't stop her because he thought this would be a more fun way to approach her
and get a date - now she can't say no to the idea of meeting because she needs her phone.
Diane doesn't get to reply because she notices her bathtub is overflowing, forcing her to hang up.
After taking care of that, she receives another call but this time from her ex-husband Bruno,
who wants to discuss the case he plans to take for their firm. While they divorced three years ago,
they're still working together, which hasn't been easy because of their differences.
They've been arguing about this case all day and Diane isn't in the mood for it now, causing her to
hang up. Alexandre call s her again and notices she's in a bad mood, which inspires him to lend
her an ear and listen to her troubles. Diane is impressed by Alexandre's sense of humor, charm,
and how easy it is to talk to him; encouraging her to accept to meet with him the next day at a café.
The following afternoon, Diane goes to the café and properly meets Alexandre, but she quickly
feels awkward when she notices he's a midget. Alexandre notices her shock yet isn't offended,
he tells her he understands and lightens up the mood with some jokes. After Diane gets her phone
back and they chat for a while, Alexandre asks her to cancel all her plans for the day because he's
taking her on an adventure. This adventure turns out to be skydiving, which Alexandre quickly makes
an appointment for by calling his personal pilot because he's rich. Diane is terrified,
but Alexandre encourages her to try new things and makes her jump with him. Afterward, Diane is
very thankful for the experience because she never felt something like this before, and the two agree
to see each other again. Alexandre returns to his home, where he lives with a big dog,
his son Benji and the maid Monique. Benji is starting to get tired of Monique because she
either doesn't do her chores or does them badly, and Alexandre thinks he should be understanding
because she's sad after losing her husband. Benji points out this has been going on for five years,
but Alexandre ignores him. Later at dinner, Benji tells his father that he turned down a job
offer because it wasn't good enough. Alexandre thinks anything should be better than nothing,
but he doesn't blame the boy for being passionate about his app creation and concentrating on that,
so he doesn't mind giving him money for his expenses. The next day at work, Bruno shows
up to discuss the case with Diane again: he wants to represent a sleazy man that Diane doesn't like
because she wants the firm to have ethics. Still hesitant about their work relationship, Diane asks
Bruno for a few days to think about it. Afterward, Diane calls Alexandre, who is currently working on
a project to expand the opera house. They agree to go out later, and when the secretary Monique comes
over to drop some files, she overhears Diane mentioning Alexandre's name. In the evening,
Alexandre takes Diane to an exclusive restaurant not many people know about. The two of them share
a lovely dinner together, and when Alexandre drives Diane home, the couple kisses for the
first time. Diane and Alexandre begin seeing each other often, which makes Diane feel extra
confident to stand up to Bruno and defend her position regarding their controversial case.
She also calls Bruno out, telling him that after being married to him she can't trust him anymore.
Bruno notices her change in attitude and wonders if Diane's met somebody, but she denies it.
After she's gone though, Coralie comes to Bruno's office and tells him Alexandre's name.
Meanwhile, Alexandre and Benji are having a ping-pong match, and they're both quite good
at it. When they're done, Benji teases his dad because he looks giddier than usual, and Alexandre
shares he's met someone, which makes Benji happy to hear. Later that day, a jealous Bruno follows
Diane when she leaves the building and sees her get into Alexandre's car. The couple spends the
night having fun dancing, and afterward, Alexandre invites Diane to spend the night at his house,
which she accepts. While they're kissing, Diane notices the size difference between them on the
mirror Alexandre keeps in his room. She can't help feeling awkward and hesitant at the sight,
but Alexandre quickly takes charge and makes her concentrate on him. Diane manages to really
get into it and they spend a lovely time together. The next morning, Alexandre has to leave early for
work, so Diane wakes up to find a note from him and food waiting for her. While having breakfast,
she gets to meet Benji, who shares a bit about his wonderful relationship with his parents.
They divorced ten years ago, but it was a friendly mutual agreement and they still get along to this
day. Feeling embarrassed about her own situation, Diane lies and says her divorce was also friendly.
Meanwhile at the firm, Bruno tells Coralie that Diane is dating a midget, which neither
of them can understand. When Diane arrives, Coralie teases Diane about her new boyfriend,
although Diane says it's something casual. Coralie also admits she knows Alexandre is a midget,
which makes Diane get nervous and wonder if there's something wrong with her. Afterward,
Diane goes to see Bruno to discuss the case and he makes fun of her by calling her "Snow White";
he also wonders if this dating choice is just her trying to experiment. Furious, Diane asks him not
to humiliate her and reminds him that they aren't together anymore, so she doesn't owe Bruno any
explanations. That afternoon, Alexandre meets with his ex-wife for a chat. While they're walking down
the road, a man bumps into Alexandre and knocks him over, claiming he didn't see him. Alexandre
is angry and wonders if he's invisible, but leaves without saying much else to avoid causing a scene.
A few days later, Diane goes shopping for a sweater for Alexandre. Sadly, she can't find his
size in adult stores and resigns herself to buying something from a kids' shop, where she turns down
the cute bag so she can choose proper wrapper later. In the meantime, Alexandre is doing some
gift-giving of his own: for Benji's birthday, he gets him an interview with a famous app developer
that will listen to Benji's ideas for funding consideration. In the evening, Diane, Alexandre,
and Benji have dinner together to celebrate Benji's success in getting the job. Diane takes
the chance to gift Alexandre the sweater, making him feel a bit awkward and uncomfortable. It's not
because he doesn't like it - in fact, he loves it- it's just that he isn't used to people giving him
presents. During one of his many work meetings, Alexandre has to deal with one of his employees
chuckling when he asks them to "aim big". Just like Diane felt more confident to confront Bruno,
now Alexandre feels confident to call out his employee as well, but he also makes sure to
lighten the mood with a joke when he's done so the rest of the meeting isn't spent in a tense,
nervous mood. Later that night, Alexandre finally gets brave enough to ask Diane when she'll stop
hiding him - he's introduced her to his friends and families, but she hasn't returned the favor.
Diane swears she isn't hiding him, it just happens that she hasn't been seeing her friends much since
the divorce. But if Alexandre wants to meet her parents, then she'll be happy to introduce
him to them. The opportunity comes during a photography exhibition they're all attending.
Diane introduces Alexandre as a friend to her mother Nicole and her stepfather Philippe,
who doesn't speak very well because he's hard of hearing. Alexandre charms them all with jokes
during the exhibition, then the four of them go to have dinner. Everyone enthusiastically shares
stories except for Diane, who keeps noticing how a group from another table keeps pointing
at Alexandre and laughing. Fed up, Diane goes to them and calls them out on their behavior,
causing the group to look away in shame. When she returns to her table, Alexandre has gone out
to take a call, so Nicole tells Diane she likes Alexandre very much. But to Diane's frustration,
Nicole refers to him using unkind words, like comparing him to an excitable small dog. After
dinner is over and the parents are gone, Alexandre has a little chat with Diane to ask her if he can
still believe in their relationship. Diane admits it's not easy for her because she's
always worrying if she's being thoughtful enough or hurting his feelings; however, she does want
to keep trying to be happy with him. Some days later, Alexandre visits Diane at the office,
eager to see the place where she works. Coralie is welcoming but she also keeps on being very rude by
bending over to talk to Alexandre and bringing his glass of water with a straw. Alexandre is used to
this and ignores it, but it's impossible to ignore Bruno when he arrives, fails to see Alexandre,
and sits on top of him. Diane has no choice but to introduce them to each other however,
she refuses to argue with Bruno in front of Alexandre and takes him to another office.
Diane wants to discuss the case, especially since she learned Bruno spent the night with the judge,
but Bruno only keeps on calling Alexandre names and making fun of Diane's taste in men.
Diane won't stand for this though, so she points out that Alexandre is an exceptional man and
next to him, Bruno is just a bug. This is a brave moment for her however, when later she goes to the
movies with Alexandre, she doesn't pay attention and keeps thinking of Bruno's accusations.
Alexandre notices Diane's weird mood and decides to do something about it.
The next day, he finds Bruno in the middle of the street and asks him to leave Diane alone,
reminding him they aren't together anymore. Angry, Bruno threatens Alexandre with violence,
but this isn't enough to make him back off. In fact, Alexandre is ready to fight him,
but Bruno doesn't want to be seen hitting such a small person and flees the scene like a coward.
Alexandre still follows him and, after requesting to be adults about this, he invites Bruno to the
party he's throwing on Saturday because it would make Diane happy to see them get along. Meanwhile,
Diane is in a car with her mother when she finally confesses that Alexandre is her boyfriend and that
she'd like to marry him someday. Nicole says she's supportive but this seems to be a lie because her
sudden mad driving reveals she's freaking out to the point that they almost crash against a bus.
The day of the party, Bruno shows up and is perfectly civil, but Nicole sadly doesn't come.
Monique's failing to do her job as usual, which means Alexandre has to pick up some food trays
and napkins from the kitchen himself. However, the box of napkins is on top of a tall cupboard,
so Alexandre has to put a bunch of books and a box on top of a stool to reach them. Unfortunately,
the box slips and falls with the books, and now Alexandre finds himself hanging from the edge
of the cupboard. It's Bruno that finds him and makes fun of him as he screams Diane's name to
get her to come and see this. Not wanting to be embarrassed in front of Diane, Alexandre
offers Bruno to solve this in a duel like real men and challenges Bruno to a ping-pong match.
Bruno accepts, so by the time Diane makes it to the kitchen, Alexandre has been helped down
and the two men pretend to be just chilling. In the meantime, Nicole expresses her worries
about Diane to Philippe, who had already guessed she and Alexandre were dating. Philippe doesn't
understand why Nicole is worried since he has a disability as well and they're happy together,
but Nicole thinks it's not the same because Philippe's disability doesn't show.
This double-standard upsets and hurts Philippe, who tells Nicole the only invalid here it's her.
A few days later, Diane goes for a walk with Alexandre and they come across a
child wearing the same sweater Diane had bought, which gives away where she got it.
Later at Alexandre's house, he explains he isn't mad, but Diane is still nervous and embarrassed.
She doesn't understand how Alexandre doesn't hate being short, so he explains this is all he knows,
and perhaps he would've hated it if he had been tall first and then shrunk. Diane admits she feels
loved when she's with him, that she's learned a lot and that she would love to live together,
but she can't. Feeling betrayed after he had been told he should keep believing in them,
Alexandre breaks up with Diane and kicks her out. After the break-up, Alexandre is
in a bad mood and, without realizing it, he asks Monique to finish a new chore every few seconds.
Monique gets tired of this treatment and leaves, so Alexandre ends up vacuuming the carpet himself.
That's how Benji finds him when he comes home, causing him to point out that Diane is not worth
this grief. He sees Alexandre as a great father, his best friend, and a successful architect - in
fact, he hadn't noticed anything weird about his dad as a kid, and only caught on to people's
attitudes as a teenager. Benji never let it bother him because it didn't bother Alexandre,
but then Alexandre admits it has always hurt and he's lied to himself and his son to be able to
move on with life. However, Benji explains those weren't lies: Alexandre is strong and has dignity,
which means a lot to Alexandre to hear. Meanwhile at the firm, Bruno surprises Diane by turning
down the sleazy husband to keep up their work ethic. There's a second surprise though: they'll
be defending the wife instead. Diane is confused by this at first, but she quickly catches on and
guesses Bruno spent the night with the wife. Disgusted, Diane leaves Bruno behind and goes
back to thinking about Alexandre, who she misses terribly. Neither of them can't stop thinking
about the other even if they won't admit it, so one afternoon, Diane finally gets brave enough
to show up at Alexandre's house with the intention to talk. Unfortunately, Alexandre isn't home, and
it's Benji that receives her rather coldly. Benji tells Diane she's hurt Alexandre enough and asks
her to leave him alone before kicking her out. Devastated, Diane returns to the office and has
to put up with Coralie calling her an emotional midget. Suddenly, Nicole shows up to comfort her
daughter and tell her it isn't too late: she must find Alexandre and show him how she really feels.
Diane decides she needs a big gesture to prove she's worked on her issues, so she decides to
hire a plane and skydive right above the opera house. Unfortunately, she ends up falling on the
construction site instead, but Alexandre still goes to see her after dismissing his employees.
Diane explains she's jumped off a plane as a metaphor to show Alexandre she isn't scared
anymore. She truly loves him, and she's finally ready to share her whole life with him without
caring about what others will say because she's been freed from those misconceptions.
Alexandre is hesitant at first, but as Diane keeps on expressing her love for him, he accepts
to take her back and the couple kisses, ready to start a new chapter of their life together.
