Andre owes tens of thousands of euros to various criminals all over Paris. When the payment deadline arrives, he realizes there’s no way to pay it back. Neither the police nor the American embassy will help him.
Desperate, he decides to end his life, but on the bridge he sees a stunningly beautiful woman in a tiny black dress jumping into the Seine. Andre jumps in after her. The woman he saves promises to help him with everything: she comes up with incredible ways to make money and helps him resolve his debts.
The arrival of a heavenly messenger to this ordinary man completely changes his life. That’s just the surface. If you look deeper, this film is about what extraordinary transformations a person can achieve when they truly examine themselves and start taking an interest in their own life. Such introspection requires someone else—a person who can accept your weaknesses and support your strengths. But the real power lies within everyone, even the smallest and most unremarkable person. The power of meaning.
By the way, from the perspective of psychological support for depression, the main character Angela behaves very correctly and accurately. She shifts Andre’s focus from his despair to her own difficulties, making him feel needed by others. Later, seeing his progress, she begins to show him how his poor decisions lead to repeated failures.
