Alibi.com 2 2023

Grégory Van Huffel, called Greg, Philippe Lacheau heads Alibi.com, an agency that crafts precise alibis to help people keep romantic secrets hidden from their partners. The business is booming, and Greg rides the wave of success with a confident charm, yet his personal life starts to tilt when he meets Florence Martin, a lawyer who swears by honesty as the bedrock of any relationship. To protect the budding romance, Greg keeps his day job under wraps, presenting himself to Florence as a steward and keeping the true nature of his work tucked away.

During a trip to Florence’s parents’ country house, Greg’s world gets more tangled when he discovers that Florence’s father, Gérard, Didier Bourdon is one of his clients at Alibi.com. The discovery is a jolt: if Florence ever learns the truth, their relationship could crack under the weight of deception. At the same time, Marlène, Nathalie Baye (often seen as Mme Martin in the family circle), believes her husband is away on a routine business trip, unaware that Gérard is meeting another woman, Cynthia, in a Cannes hotel. The plot thickens as Marlène and Florence herself end up at the same hotel in Cannes, where they cross paths with Gérard, triggering a chain of urgent calls and hurried alibi-schemes. In a moment of desperation, Gérard reaches out to Greg, who must conjure a believable cover—so believable that Greg ends up telling Florence he’s traveling to Tanzania, a lie meant to keep them apart when they should be close.

The web of deceit grows more intricate as miscommunications compound and loyalties are tested. Greg finds himself balancing the pull of true love against the demands of his own business, while Gérard grapples with the moral cost of his own actions and the fragile trust within the family. The situation spirals toward a turning point where the consequences of keeping secrets come to a head. In a dramatic and revealing turn, Cynthia decides to reveal Alibi.com’s customer list on the Internet, exposing the hidden lives of many and forcing Greg to confront the personal and professional fallout of the life he built around lies.

As the dust settles, both Gérard and Greg face the aftermath of their choices, with the story leaving open questions about forgiveness, accountability, and the uneasy coexistence of honesty and discretion. The film contrasts the warmth and flaws of family relationships with the farce of clever deceptions, delivering a witty, character-driven reflection on trust, truth, and the costs of hiding the truth behind a slick alibi.
