What happens

Viens chez moi, j'habite chez une copine (lit. 'Come up to my place, I'm living at a girlfriend's') is a 1981 French comedy film directed by Patrice Leconte, starring Michel Blanc, who also wrote the screenplay with Leconte, Bernard Giraudeau and Thérèse Liotard. The film is loosely adapted from a play of the same name, which was also the basis for the 1977 American musical I Love My Wife. The film was a box-office success in France. It was one of many films starring members of the troupe of Le Splendid, who had become France's new comedy stars in the early 1980s. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
