The film tells the story of Xavier Simms ( *me* ), a 30-year-old single man who works in the real estate company of Nicky Cole (Matthew Broderick), where he is in charge of company public relations. Lewis (Nia Long) went to cooperate with a real estate agent and begins to distrust that Mr. Simms is single because he is "quite a lady", as he himself says, but she does not understand gentlemen, and Simms's attitudes surprise her. When an enraged customer named Shaun Martínez (Stephanie Beatriz) goes to the desk to assassinate Mr. Cole because he has lost all his fortune in a business, Xavier intervenes in a fright by looking at a gun, he farts numerous times, BUT HE ALSO BREAKDANCE. From that moment on, the whole situation in which Mr. Cole looks at one of the guns triggered an intestinal musical high, a true "Wind Music".
