Synopsis: Antoine (Guillaume Canet) is 29. Denied
his rightful place in decent society by a run of terrible luck, he is determined not to
forgo the many exotic pleasures offered by Paris after dark. He has reached an acceptable
compromise: night spent freeloading, days spent asleep. His old friend Etienne (Gerard
Lanvin), amused by Antoine's cheek, his ironic insouciance, his Great Gasby airs,
grudgingly supports him. Antoine's life is a succession of slammed doors, a tantalising
underworld of clubs that would rather see him dead than a member. One night, he pushes his luck. Having faked close acquaintance with the mysterious Jordan (Orazio Massaro), a shadowy legend whose name is enough to open the city's most exclusive doors, he is cornered by a sinister operator, a Mr. Big oozing money and malice, who most definitely isn't joking when he makes him an offer so rotten even Faust on E would turn it down flat. ******
