Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Vincent Stroeler, a Swiss man seemingly detached from everything, has found a job as a night watchman in a former palace, the Hotel Villa Mauresque in Lisbon. A French guest, Sandra, gradually involves him in her prostitution business. These deals, both pathetic and extravagant, shake Vincent out of his torpor and give him a new lease on life. However, the meeting of a Portuguese writer, Tiago Sena, and the circumstances that lead to his death, upset their relationship and put an end to their adventure. Written by P. Mimouni |

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The director, Patrick Mimouni, chained himself to the gates of the French Embassy in Lisbon to protest against the arbitrary decision of his producer Paulo Branco who did not respect his commitments and wanted to cancel the filming of this film, provoking a scandal in the middle French cinema. Bernard-Henry Levy (husband of Arielle Dombale) even had to intervene personally to help in the completion of this film which didn't benefit from any distribution in theaters. Its producer - distributor (Paulo Branco) doesn't want to involve any more in "Villa Mauresque". See more » |
