Down-and-out New Yorker Mathias Gold (Kline) inherits a large apartment in Paris from his estranged father. When he arrives to liquidate the property, he’s surprised to find that it’s inhabited by a sophisticated old woman (Smith) and her daughter (Thomas). According to an ancient French system for buying and selling apartments, Mathias learns that he will not actually get possession of the property until the woman, Mathilde, dies. While trying to sell his contract for the apartment, Mathias discovers that Mathilde was more to his father than just his tenant.
