[edit] Plot

Pierre (Guillaume Depardieu) lives with his mother in a castle in Normandy near the edges of Seine. They are more beautiful, richer, more carefree and they like themselves. Every morning, Pierre leaves with the inherited bike of his father to return visits for Lucie (Delphine Chuillot), his fiance. A night, Marie (Catherine Deneuve) announces to Pierre that she set up the date back to his marriage with Lucie. Pierre leaves to announce the good new one to his fiance. On the way, by the forest, appears a beautiful creature of funeral. She speaks with a strong accent of the countries of the East: "Pierre.. you are not the only child, I am your sister, Isabelle (Yekaterina Golubeva)."
