Bob est dentiste. Le jour de ses 40 ans, tout lui paraît soudain moins rose : ses patients l'embêtent, ses amis l'ennuient, son futur l'inquiète. Quel sens donner à sa vie? Durant ce temps, sa femme lui prépare une surprise-party. Mais qui sera le plus surpris de Bob, de Martine ou des invités? Une cascade de rires qui guérit de tous les maux de l'âme!
