Hubert de Tartas' life becomes a complete muddle when his wife's grandfather is unearthed after having spent 65 years in frozen hibernation in the polar circle. After being de-frosted, the Hibernating Man believes it is still the beginning of the century. Nothing is spared to keep that illusion alive. At the end of his rope, Hubert blurts out the truth and takes the man from Edwardian times on a crazy spree through an ultramodern Twentieth Century.

Hubert de Tartas faces a frantic domestic crisis when his wife's grandfather emerges from a sixty-five-year icy slumber still believing it is the early 1900s. This chaotic farce hinges on a desperate, comedic struggle to protect a frozen man from the jarring realities of the modern world.
