Summary:

A dignified old lady, the sole heiress of her father, who has made her the richest woman in France, is bored and sinking into indifference since the death of her husband. She has a daughter, but she sees little. A billionaire without entertainment is a queen full of misery. A chance encounter at the Polo de Bagatelle will bring her back to life. His savior is a character of Pasolini. A great talented boy who could be his son, he is enraged to be poor and struggles to be with black fury and little success. He wrote several novels but did not enrich them, although they were very honorable. Then he became a photographer, rich, pragmatically. Having noticed that the wealth is often masochistic, he insults his clients copiously while drawing them the portrait. In default of fortune he became a Parisian character. The old lady and her opposite become inseparable. He distracted her wonderfully from the distressing monotony of the reports of her accountants who only annually announce to her that the stacking of her billions of millions of millions. So she sets no limits to satisfy her entertainer. His protégé's fortune rises very rapidly, to the point of skimming that sky that no fortune ever reaches. He grew bold enough to ask him to make him his universal legatee. Why not ? she suggests her benefactress. The family is attacking this provision. Justice restored the balance between the two interests. The old lady did not hide anything. As for the troublemaker, having never hidden his game, he has not stolen anything: any penalty deserves salary. Money is sometimes happy.--Summary by espace culturel.
