The title reflects the brand of a financial institution, the bank of the Saltim family: Frederic, the younger brother, runs the family bank; his brother Bruno rejected the position of executive director, and chose to fund a theatrical company. A net of family members, friends, and acquaintances seems to swirl around the banking brothers, who are both trying to control the future of their beautiful niece Vanessa. Coffee-shop owners Eve and Jim complicate everybody's life with their intrigues and lies. A strange stage director comes from his foreign exile. And lack of funds suddenly reveals everyone's true colors--in banking, onstage, and everywhere.
