Synopsis
Sami et Patrick sont amis de longue date. Sami est hypocondriaque. Un jour, à la suite d'un quiproquo à l'hôpital, Sami pense être atteint d'une maladie neurologique incurable. Il décide alors de vivre pleinement ses derniers moments et part en Inde se faire soigner par un grand "médecin" local. Entre-temps, son ami Patrick, qui l'accompagne et le soutient sans savoir que cette maladie n'est en fait que fictive, se retrouve sans femme ni travail. La situation initiale semble s'être inversée ; Patrick n'a plus de chance et Sami semble de moins en moins malade...Actors

La Chèvre features Depardieu as the tough-guy private detective Campana, hired to find Marie, the daughter of a rich businessman, who has mysteriously disappeared while vacationing in Mexico. The case turns out to be complicated – several attempts to find her have already failed. A psychologist, Meyer, who works for the businessman, suggests a plan. Marie is known to be extremely unlucky and accident-prone; the psychologist advises sending someone equally accident-prone to find her, on the theory that what happened to her may also happen to him, and thus, following her steps while the detective tags along, the daughter can be found and returned home. Richard's character Perrin is an awkward, accident-prone accountant who works for the businessman, and is chosen to implement the scheme. The adventures of an odd duo begin.

A teenaged boy has run away from home. His father is ineffective at finding him, so his mother contacts two former lovers from around the time her son was conceived, telling them both that the child is their son and asking them to look for him. One of them (Depardieu) is a tough journalist investigating the Mafia, while the other (Richard) is a timid former teacher who was on the verge of committing suicide when he received the telephone call. The two former boyfriends finally meet, and together they locate the son. They both argue who is really the father. In the end the son tells both Depardieu and Richard (while the other is out of earshot) that his mother thinks that he is the father. Thus, the son adopts both of them as his fathers, and also reconciles with his real father.
