Overview
France, present day. A professional conman passes himself off as the boss of a construction site building a highway extension. He cons the whole region, hires dozens of workers and cynically enjoys the profits of his scam until he meets the lady mayor of a small village that the road will go through. She intrigues and unsettles him, before revealing to him a world he never knew: feelings. How far will he go now to save his victims and save himself from his own lies?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A con man's carefully constructed world of cynicism fractures when genuine human connection forces him to reckon with his own capacity for feeling. It's a slow-burn portrait of transformation that lingers in moral ambiguity.
