The plot concerns a man, Georges (Creator/JeanDujardin), whose wife has separated from him. He ventures out and buys an expensive but rather ridiculous deerskin jacket in an attempt to make himself more cool. When his wife refuses to reconcile with him and puts a freeze on their bank account, he's left to con people for money while claiming to be a film director. As he grows increasingly obsessed over his deerskin attire, he becomes convinced that his deerskin jacket should be the only jacket in the world. He convinces an aspiring film editor Denise (Adèle Haenel) to join him on his project, little realizing that the bizarre behavior he films is not fiction.
