Based on the true professional experience of author and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder, 99 Francs tells the story of Octave (Jean Dujardin) who\u00a0is the master of the universe: He exercises the profession of copywriter. Today he decides what you will want tomorrow. For him, \u201cman is a product like everything else.\u201d Octave works for the world\u2019s largest advertising agency, Ross & Witchcraft, nicknamed \u201cThe Ross.\u201d He\u2019s swimming in money, girls and coke. Even so, he has his doubts. Two events will turn Octave\u2019s life on its head: his love affair with Sophie, the agency\u2019s most beautiful employee, and a meeting at Madone to sell an advertisement to this major company in the dairy sector. Gifted Octave loses the plot and decides to rebel against the system that created him, by botching his greatest publicity campaign. From Paris, where agency bosses negotiate deals, to Miami, where advertisements get shot while gulping antidepressants, from Saint-Germain-de-Pr\u00e8s to an isolated island in Central America, will Octave manage to escape his golden prison?<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
