SYNOPSIS:
This highly provocative new romantic comedy from renowned French director Bertrand Blier (Too Beautiful for You) is a stylish and handsomely played fable about beauty, seduction, sex and romance.

Balding office worker Francois (the excellent Bernard Campan) enters a brothel in Paris’ Pigalle District, and speaks with the fur-clad prostitute Daniela (a beguiling Monica Bellucci), discovering that her favours can be had for 150 euros and an overpriced bottle of champagne. Francois doesn’t hesitate at the cost. Instead, he reveals he has just won a fortune in France’s lotto, and will happily give her 100 000 euros a month to live with him until the money runs out. Daniela accepts and appears to cheerfully transform herself into the domestic housewife of every man’s dreams: she cooks him spaghetti and wriggles and squeals endlessly during their long sessions of lovemaking - much to the annoyance of the neighbours! It almost seems as if nothing could go wrong, but Francois has a heart condition and Daniela’s gangster boyfriend Charlie (Gérard Depardieu) isn’t about to let her go...

This audacious, buoyantly choreographed ballet of fluctuating allegiances is played to perfection and poses the question; although Francois can pay to touch Daniela, can he get under her skin?
