Den timide och färglöse François Pignon, som arbetar som revisor på en kondomfabrik, är på väg att få sparken när hans vän får en idé - han sprider ett rykte om att François är homosexuell. Problemet är att François är helt straight, och tillbringar kvällarna med att ynkligt tråna efter sin vackra exhustru som dumpade honom. Dessutom är han avskydd av såväl sin son som sina arbetskollegor. Ryktet får dock fabriksledningen att backa av rädsla för att stämmas för sexuell diskriminering.

Tillvaron i François liv - och alla andra i hans närhet - vänds snart helt upp och ned.
