Paul is a successful lawyer. Among others he represents the investor Pervillard. Paul falls in love with a young lady named Sacha. When he learns she got sacked because she wouldn't let Pervillard molest her, he makes her case public... Sacha (Nathalie Baye) is a divorced woman from the Left Bank of the Seine, out of a job because she refused to bestow sexual favors in the line of duty. Paul (Gérard Depardieu) is a lawyer from the Right Bank whom Sacha first rejects and then accepts when she sees his noble behavior on television. Paul has become well-established because of some shady moral compromises but suddenly finds his backbone when he turns against the crooked tycoon he had represented - 'Président' Pervillard - and does so on public television. Paul has given up everything for his love of Sacha, and now she is in danger from the vengeful tycoon - not to mention Paul's irate wife. (official distributor synopsis)
