The story
Three longtime friends, Serge, Marc, and Yvan, find their bond tested when Serge buys an outrageously priced, all-white painting. What begins as a snide joke spirals into a hilarious battle of opinions, bruised egos, and buried resentments. As laughter gives way to raw honesty, each man must decide what truly has value: art, pride, or friendship. By the final scene, the real question emerges: who’s framing whom?
