For the bon vivant Pat, things are going rather modestly: money doesn't seem to stick around, his girlfriend Loulou flirts with others, and he's turned away at the door of his regular club. Pat's counterpart Bob, on the other hand, is showered with good fortune - surrounded by beautiful women and sponsored by his wealthy aunt Honorine, he dances carefree through the Parisian nightlife. Suddenly, the tables turn. Honorine abruptly cuts off Bob's money and sends her nephew to work on her Caribbean plantation. When Bob invites Pat to accompany him to the Antilles and take on his identity - following the motto "Du bist ich and dein ist mein" (You are me and mine is yours) - the eternal unlucky one finds a way out of his dilemma. Finally, he has the opportunity to leave his dreary existence behind and step into the promising identity of his companion. But is life as Bob really as rosy as it seems?

Internationally renowned through the jazz hit "El Manisero," the Habanero Moïses Simons merges French operetta sounds with Cuban elements in his work. Nowadays, hardly any of his 40 zarzuelas and operettas are found on European stages - it's high time to change this with the rediscovery of "Du bist ich" - originally "Toi c'est moi."
