    Storyline

    Edit
    Mathieu Roussel is a novelist who knew a big success when he was young and who since then, for lack of inspiration, moved into unauthorized biographies which he writes under a pen name. Taken in the game of this new life, he infiltrates Lena Weber's intimacy, an icon of the media with a prestigious reporter past, who presents the first television news of France. Using his previous relation with Lena's daughter to approach her, Mathieu does not suspect that by trapping them, he is going to trap himself. Meanwhile, in Brittany, a 20-year-old young boy, Bruno, who lives with his parents, does not yet know the consequences that this story will have on his life. —Happy_Evil_Dude

    the webb
    One of many films interesting for actors presence. An old recipe who has only the sin to do not convince. A mix of drama and sexuality who seems too ambiguous to have a real target. And a sort of moral lesson. Nothing surprising. Only slice from a French life style, balance between succes and feelings, many flaws and easy solutions, pressure of a story like a large webb who becomes more and more boring. Sure, to be familiar with the traits of story is a good thing. And source of a sort of bore.
