Synopsis
Chantal Letellier is a “wonderful woman.” She’s a lawyer. She always wins her cases. In her professional life she’s a heavyweight, but in her private life she’s a pushover. She’s divorced – and didn’t even litigate – and is saddled with two teenage kids who are very well brought up in a bad kind of way. When it comes to love, think “desert” – she’s got no time. But flesh is weak and one night she lets loose with a client. Undoes a few buttons and then a few buttons more.
He falls madly in love with her and settles in. To get rid of him, she undertakes major renovations with the intention of making the house unlivable.
“Have I got this right?” her ex-husband mocks. “To get rid of the bozo you’ve taken in six more!” To top it all, she employs a young Colombian architect, an immigrant worker whose illegal status she’s just rectified. Eternally grateful, and taking advantage of the situation to spruce up his press-book, the architect gives her house an entire makeover she didn’t request!
