THE PARIS GAME (June 17, 2013)
On the darker side of Paris, it’s dangerous to not pay your debts…A singer in a jazz club past its prime, Sera Durand must come up with thousands of euros to pay back her boss, a ruthless gangster. A confrontation with her ex, an art dealer profiting on the wrong side of the law, leads her into a questionable wager, but one that could solve her problems.
Marc Perron knows a winning proposition when he sees one. Seducing a shy young woman of Sera’s acquaintance will be the easiest thing in the world, and the prize, to have Sera in his bed once again, is worth the chance of losing a sizable sum. What he didn’t expect was the depth of Sera’s desperation.
When one of his deals goes awry, Marc’s solution could cost them more than money…

However, a few days later, Lise introduces her to Marcel, her former fiance. They seem intimately involved and Colette is devastated. Will her dreams of Lise be unrequited?

All I hoped for when I bought a ticket to this film was that it wasn’t going to turn me off the ballet ‘Swan Lake’ for the rest of my life. Fortunately, it didn’t.
