certain French TV network. The story is indeed quite complicated as it
follows the unusual confession of a retired ambassador (Michel Serrault) who
has arrived at the French Riviera looking for piece and solace. While
gambling at one of the posh local casinos Louis becomes involved in an
unfortunate brawl that leaves the stunningly beautiful Olivia (Berenice
Bejo) in his shaky hands. Olivia and Louis will quickly establish an unusual
bond that will ease the old ambassador in revealing a secret that has been
tormenting his soul for years.<
