Spoilers ahead
Grégoire Canvel is a struggling French film producer who owns his own film company but is trapped under a mountain of debt. Despite his luxurious lifestyle—which includes a grand country home, a chic apartment in Paris, and a bustling film company—he finds himself sinking deeper into financial trouble. Despite the rising costs associated with his ongoing projects, Grégoire continues to accept more work. The grim reality hits hard when he discovers he is 4 million euros in debt, with his catalogue of films, already mortgaged, valued at less than a million euros. With the bank unwilling to extend any further credit, he resorts to a desperate act: a dramatic encounter where he burns his bills and ultimately takes his own life on the streets.
