The Dinner Game

A group of wealthy Parisian businessmen organizes a weekly dinner party where each member must bring an unsuspecting guest whom they consider a complete imbecile, with the last one to find a guest being the winner. However, things take an unexpected turn for the host when his chosen guest, a simple-minded tax inspector, begins to turn his life upside down with his unintentional chaos.
