Film Synopsis
In 1976, following the breakdown of her marriage, Agnès Le Roux returns to Africa to be reunited with her mother, Renée, who owns a casino in Nice named Le Palais de la Méditerranée. The young woman falls madly in love with her mother's closest confident, Maurice Agnelet, a lawyer who is ten years her senior. A shareholder in her mother's casino, Agnès has made up her mind to sell her part in the family fortune so that she can stand on her own two feet. When he has an acrimonious falling out with Renée, Maurice puts Agnès in contact with Fratoni, a gangster boss who is determined to take control of the casino, heedless of the consequences. Agnès's life is about to take a tragic turn...© James Travers
