Le Daim follows Georges, a lonely man who buys a deerskin jacket he believes will transform his life and win him the attention of others. Obsessed with his image and an imagined audience, he retreats into a surreal, escalating ritual around the jacket—pretending to be adored, while his obsession spirals toward dangerous consequences. Dupieux blends deadpan humor with an unsettling mood to probe vanity, masculinity, and the emptiness of performance.
