Synopsis
Simon is a gay man who is completely at ease with his sexuality. However, his rich, banker uncle wants to see the family name carried on and makes Simon a proposition. If he will marry, he'll receive 10 million francs and a lavish house as well. Although Simon barely makes a living as a bar pianist, he flatly refuses the offer. But, when his landlord kicks him out for late payments, he thinks the offer might not be so impossible to accept.
