Judith Godreche (The Man In The Iron Mask, Ridicule) stars as Beth, an enchanting
young Parisian girl whose boyfriend, in the middle of a petty argument, dares
her to bed the ugliest man she can find, to test her love for him. What follows
is more than a test of love; it is also one of courage and will. Three men cross
her path: an older man; a young, inexperienced boy her own age; and, finally,
40 year-old Alphonse, a handsome, mysterious stranger.
Taking a simple premise and a beautiful young woman, Benoit Jacquot has
created a masterpiece of French cinema, capturing in full the talents of the
young actress Judith Godreche and displaying beautifully his own
innovative style.
