SYNOPSIS
Nicolas (J-L Trintignant) is a shy and an unassuming bank teller determined to become a business tycoon and bed as many women as possible with the help of his plotting, needy fried, Claude (j-P Cassel) in this dark and twisted tale of complicated love and tangled relationships. Claude, in a wheelchair and desperate for fodder for his next novel, manipulates Nicolas into unsing his female connections to generate lucrative business deals and, as luck would have it, more female connections that ultimatly allow Claude to live vicariously through Nicolas sexual esploits.
However the plan is threatened by Nicolas’ own ineptitude, stubborn pride and eventually the love of a beautiful woman (R. Schneider)
