Storyline:
From the back of the video, "Pierre Sanchez and Dominique Samson, the two
brilliant architects of Samson and Sanchez have just been crushed by the biggest real
estate crash of the twentieth century. Pierre simply goes back to his first job at the
National Theatre School"
"For Dominique, the situation is a little more complicated. His new job in the world of antique dealers, where the atmosphere is rather flamboyant, begins to threaten his straight life. The job requirements results in a sexual identity crisis; while his wife seeks refuge with an adoring psychiatrist, Dominique begins to doubt which side of the coins he's on- heads or tails. The final call is made by Rose Petipas, a luscious interior decorator who helps Dominique back onto the straight path that eventually leads to his wife."
Is Dominique gay? Even Dominique doesn't know for most of the movie.
