Luxury is the dream of the two heroes of the film, scammers ready to do anything to change their social status.

“It tells of the violence of social relationships, particularly on the Côte d’Azur where there are absolutely sublime and very authentic places and there is also the show-off, the superficial side, of people who aspire to be something other than what they are really“, explains Peter Nineyactor in the film. In six years, Nicolas Bedos made four films, all of them public successes. Isabelle Adjani joined the film, playing a cruel and desperate diva.
