When Alain, a socially awkward office drone, gets a promotion, he must navigate the treacherous waters of corporate politics and emotional intelligence. Forced to attend weekly "emotional hygiene" meetings, he stumbles through team-building exercises and emotional sharing sessions, all while trying to keep his job and his sanity. As he bumbles his way through workplace dynamics, Alain learns that the only way to get ahead is to get in touch with his feelings - even if it means embarrassing himself in front of the entire office.
