In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower, a man mired in debt is about to jump into the cold waters of the Seine when everything changes. In this film, set against the black-and-white backdrop of Parisian streets, Luc Besson blends elements of romance and comedy with a touch of fantasy. The presence of a mysterious woman in the back alleys throws the con man’s plans off course, as the story oscillates between reality and fairy tale.
