Synopsis  (Country : France)

Place Vendome

100 mins/1997

The death of Vincent Malivert, director of one of the prestigious jewellery shops on Place Vendome in Paris, leaves his wife at a terrible crossroads in life. Industrious and ambitious, Marianne was once a great broker herself. But ever since she discovered the man she loved was unfaithful, her life has been marked by sadness.

Though she does retain some of her grace and elegance, Marianne lives in a boozy stupor most of the time… until the day she discovers seven magnificent diamonds stashed away in her husband’s hidden chest. Their beauty slowly awakens her passion.
