In the midst of the Great Depression, a young and eccentric heiress named Irene, part of a wealthy yet dysfunctional family, finds herself at a luxurious establishment where a curious contest of "lost men" is taking place. There, she crosses paths with Godfrey, a homeless man who, tired of his situation, becomes the unexpected object of Irene's attention. Faced with the bold proposal to act as her servant, Godfrey accepts the challenge, but what begins as a game soon evolves into a series of entanglements and misunderstandings.
As Irene's family grapples with its own problems and eccentricities, Godfrey's presence alters the course of their lives. With his keen wit and sharp perspective, he manages to unveil the absurdities of high society while becoming an unusual advisor in the household. The relationship between Irene and Godfrey blossoms, revealing the layers of their personalities and the contrast between true self-worth and the superficiality of money.
At the same time, Godfrey struggles with his own mysteries, secrets about his past that, when brought to light, will challenge the decisions and perceptions others have of him. With a light yet reflective tone, this comedy provides a clever social critique on class and human relationships, demonstrating that, in the end, love and dignity are worth much more than status or wealth.
