En Plein Coeur (1998)

Avec Gérard Lanvin (Michel), Virginie Ledoyen (Cécile), Carole Bouquet (Viviane), Guillaume Canet (Vincent), Aurélie Vérillon (Samira)

Un jour une jeune fille jolie et pauvre force la porte d’un avocat riche et s'installe. Ils vivent dans deux mondes opposés. Ils ne vivent pas au même rythme, n’entendent pas les mêmes musiques, ne dorment pas aux mêmes heures, ne partagent pas les mêmes rêves. Seulement les mêmes sentiments amoureux.

Desperate to find the money to pay their rent, two adolescent girls Cécile and Samira attempt to hold up a jeweller’s, but it all goes wrong. Samira is arrested and Cécile turns to a lawyer Michel Farnèse to defend her, having found his business card in a wallet she stole earlier. Michel agrees to defend the two girls in court, but his wife Viviane suspects that his motivations are more to do with lust than charity. Sure enough, when Michel wins the case, he begins a passionate affair with Cécile. However, Cécile’s former boyfriend Vincent is none too keen on this development and is determined to win her back…
