Not all superheroes wear a cape. And Jean, a Canadian in Paris, certainly doesn’t. A former truck driver who had to give up his job due to illness, he has been looking for work for three years without success. His girlfriend Marianne stands behind him the whole time and cheers him up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A job advertisement on the Internet turns out to be a surprisingly different job. And Jean was born for it. He sleeps with clients, but not in a sexual sense. No, this is strictly forbidden in the guidelines of the sleep agency. Millions of French people suffer from a lack of sleep or are simply alone, and some are prepared to pay good money to have someone to keep them company in bed at night and on whose shoulder they can sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Jean likes his work, who suffers from insomnia himself. At his side, the mostly female customers of all ages can sleep soundly for the first time in a long time. Jean soon becomes a sought-after Pillow Man<\/em>, as the professionals call themselves. A Pillow Man Premium<\/em> program is launched and Jean becomes a jetsetter for the rich, living involuntarily sleepless nights in Monaco and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only after some time does he confess his true job to his girlfriend Marianne. He is not a night watchman at the luxury giant LVHM, but instead puts a different woman to sleep every day. Marianne is “not amused” and the couple’s idyll is threatened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
