In the not-distant-future, the market has taken over everything thanks to the marketers. The consumer is king and those who see value outside of the marketplace are enemies of the consumer, terrorists and partisan enemies that the state must dispose of. Protagonist Jack seems to be at one with the media corporations (after all, his marketing ideas brought the institutionalization of the exchange of sex for enhanced buying power? But is he somehow involved with the feeble and pathetic resistance movement? Does he love Cecile, his colleague or is she a pawn in his game? And what about the mysterious girl from Monday? Are immigrants from the star system "Monday" really assisting the partisans?
Bertrand is a middle-aged lawyer and he is sent to Monaco to defend an elderly woman who murdered a man with ties to the mob. Against his will, Bertrand is assigned a bodyguard named Christophe. Their relationship becomes especially strained when Bertrand meets Audrey. She is a beautiful local weather girl and also Christophe's ex-girlfriend. Audrey is interested in Bertrand!! She occupies all his time and distracts him from the trial according to Christophe. Is this really happening or is Christophe just jealous? Bertrand can’t believe his good luck when the drop-dad gorgeous Audrey notices him!! Bertrand knows she is completely out of his league!! Audrey is the only source of liveliness, spontaneity, color, generosity and a real life force in this film!!! 3* (I liked this movie)
