Plot


In Paris, young lovers, student Lisa (Stacy Martin) and drug dealer Simon (Pierre Niney), split when Simon has to flee the country. Heartbroken Lisa soon meets older and wealthy Léo (Benoît Magimel).
There are three locales, Paris, Mauritius and Geneva. We move from place to place as Lisa changes from girlfriend of a drug dealer to housewife of a rich businessman, to both when having an affair with Simon while married to Léo.
On Mauritius, the gorgeous surroundings contrast with Lisa being miserable and Léo almost forcing himself on her. Then, Simon turns up as a tour guide at their resort.
Lisa makes the men around her suffer while trying not to hurt anybody. Simon is a con-man with no options but Lisa and her money. Léo, who has a shady past, hopes to buy happiness.
Léo hires Simon as his driver. It looks like they could become friends, until Léo discards Simon like a used Kleenex.
In this world of haves and have-nots, of serve-or-be-served, you're either young, poor and in love, or older, rich and despairing. Lisa is caught between Simon and Léo, and either leads to ruin.
