| SYNOPSIS: Nathalie is an attractive teenager who visits bars in order to meet and chat up affluent looking men, at the same time building up a collection of their business cards. Her dream is to move to America with her two friends, Eric and Bruno, where they hope to start up a small fashion business. They devise a plan to fund their trip: they pick from Nathalie's business contacts a particularly rich prospect. Using her as the bait, they set up a date with the man in order to rob him. Naïvely, they think it will be an easy task to lay their hands on the money, but the reality proves shockingly different and the plan goes horribly wrong with devastating results. |
