action
The film is set on the Côte d'Azur and depicts the fateful encounter between two men. Chris makes his way through life as a gigolo and sleep thief. He seduces older rich ladies and then robs them. One day he believes he has killed one of his victims and flees to the luxury suite of an elderly man living alone. This is the perverted, extremely rich and wheelchair-bound former Playboy Glover. He hides Chris with himself and demands something in return: Chris should live out the drug and sex excesses that the impotent Glover is no longer capable of. While Chris is putting Glover's ideas into practice in a room with prostitutes whom Glover pays, Glover watches via a camera. Chris agrees and begins a self-destructive time. Glover provides Christ with women, alcohol, drugs, food, and clothing. When Glover no longer feels aroused, he asks Chris to murder a young woman. Glover wants to watch and enjoy it. Chris initially refuses, but realizes that he is completely penniless and helpless. He comes back to Glover ruefully. He has now hired the potential victim, Helen, as an assistant. Chris falls in love with Helen, who returns his feelings. When the two of them make love in a room in the apartment, Glover feels humiliated. The next morning they both want to leave Glover. Glover murders the woman. In grief, anger and disgust, Chris Glover slays. In his final words, Glover thanks Chris. The end of the film suggests that Chris will be arrested.
