Description: François, tired of his monotonous life in Paris and his unfulfilling office job, visits a bar and encounters Daniela, a stunning Italian prostitute. Claiming he has won millions in the lottery, François offers her 100,000 euros a month to live with him until his funds are depleted. She accepts, but André, François’ friend and doctor, warns that his fragile heart might not endure an active sex life. During a restaurant outing, Daniela suffers from food poisoning, and André, called to assist her, experiences a stroke upon seeing her naked.
One day, François returns home to find Daniela gone. He discovers at the bar they first met that she has returned to her former profession. François then approaches a young prostitute named Muguet, prompting Daniela to confess her involvement with Charly, a gangster who has reclaimed her. Charly offers to sell Daniela back to François for four million euros, but after deliberation, François declines. Discontent with Charly, Daniela secretly returns to François’ apartment, only to find him with his attractive North African neighbor.
Meanwhile, François’ office friends, whom he hasn’t seen in a while, arrive, and a wild party ensues. Daniela, ever unrestrained, leaves with a handsome man. Charly shows up with a gun searching for Daniela but becomes intrigued by François’ neighbor. François eventually admits he never won the lottery and couldn’t have sustained his offer to Daniela. The film concludes with the two reuniting.
