Paris, City of Lights! During a summer around 2010, Paul Drouët, trying to cope with a painful past, finds an escape from his melancholy by giving himself over wholeheartedly to his passion for women. The real ones, those with soft skin, charming breasts, and inviting thighs, but also the others, the goddesses turned images, those whom painters have always known how to make immortal and desirable. And to his other passion: wandering aimlessly through the streets, watching for a glance, hoping for an encounter, letting himself be carried away by his memories, thus populating the city with his most intense fantasies. A modern-day Virgil, with two young Italian women and a few friends, he will show them a secret Paris. Their preference: to slip into certain museums, gardens, or private apartments at night, and to create in these mythical places, a way of being faithful to the leitmotif of the great marquis: to create "living paintings"! And Paris, thanks to them, becomes once again, for one summer, the Paradise of pleasures. And from these wild nights will be born the desire to abolish the disease of death that governs the world, by means of a crazy project inspired by Machiavelli and Boccaccio, that of inventing a "pleasure society."
