Based on a novel by Georges Simenon, the film is very contemporary in its portrayal of luxury in Cannes and the effect of migrants in France from the Balkans.  While there are crimes, including robbery and murder, this element is made quite secondary to the dramatic personal interactions.

With attractive locations, a stellar cast including Nathalie Baye, Roschdy Zem, Ludivine Sagnier, Mylene Demongeot, this is a glossy piece of popular French cinema, a kind of easy come, easy go entertainment that does have issues but does not press them.
