In Open Bar, we're at "Chez Lolo," and the boss is Laurent Baffie. Customers to serve, guests to welcome, and regulars to endure, including François Rollin, Pascal Sellem, Stella, Raphaël Mezrahi, Frédéric Martin, and Delphine Baril, all of whom will find their place between debates, music, rants, philosophical questions, and jokes galore.

The world of 10-year old Nina has been in turmoil since her father lost his job. Despite weeks of strike, his factory closed down. The manager had tampered with the accounts and precipitated its collapse. But rumour has it that a nest-egg remains hidden somewhere in the factory.
