Le Dîner de Cons is a play written by Francois Verber: the play was also adapted into an award-winning feature-film, also directed by Verber himself and released in 1998. The play follows the story of an elitist weekly dinner party, wherein manipulative and mean-spirited businessmen each invite an "idiot" (or "con") guest to talk about their hobbies and dreams. After the guests leaves, the attendees elect the biggest idiot amongst their plus-ones and ridicule him. Whoever brings the most idiotic guess wins.Pierre Brochant, a wealthy editor, is a member of this group; he invites Francois Pignon, a bumbling employee of the Finance Ministry who makes monuments out of matchsticks, as his guest. However, on the night of the party, plans are thwarted as Brochand throws out his back and is promptly abandoned by his wife, who storms off. Pignon arrives at his house to fall into the role of Brochand's sole caretaker only to aggravate everything through a series of well-meaning gaffes.
