Mado

Simon is a middle-aged builder whose business is about to go under. His partner's suicide brings the company's debts into the open, and a rival is waiting to buy the firm for nothing. Looking for a way out of the trap, Simon finds it running through Mado, a woman he meets by chance who makes her living on the street. What forms between them cannot quite be called love or quite be called interest. Claude Sautet was the master of the French middle class of the seventies: friends gathered around a table, and the conversations about money. Michel Piccoli, Ottavia Piccolo and Romy Schneider star.
