Drowning in debt, without a Euro to his name and refused the benefits of the US green card he won in a lottery, Andrй (Jamel Debbouze) decides the best thing for all concerned is to chuck himself into the Seine. Just as he is about to end it all on the Pont Alexandre III, however, he is interrupted by a beautiful blonde (Rie Rasmussen) who leaps in first. When he pulls her to safety, she offers to help him out of his current malaise.

Angela, of course, is no ordinary stunner, though it takes time for the skeptical Andrй to realize she has latched onto him for a reason. The twist is that she needs him just as much as he needs her, if only to feel the emotional connections that divinity has denied her.
