Marianne Farrère, an aging billionaire forms a close friendship with Pierre-Alain, a younger, dandy photographer, whom she gradually brings into her inner circle and financial affairs. As she showers him with astronomical gifts, her daughter launches a legal battle. Accusing him of taking advantage of her mother's "weakness", she sparks a highly publicized family conflict. 

This French comedy mirrors the real-life relationship between Liliane Bettencourt and photographer François-Marie Banier, who reportedly received nearly €1 billion in gifts, leading to a decade of legal drama and family estrangement.

Free. In French with English subtitles.
