The Morning After

A woman's long history of bad luck starts to change when she puts her life on the line in this romantic drama. Adèle (Vanessa Paradis) is a 22-year-old woman whose life seems to have been a long series of miscalculations; she's never had much luck with love, life, or career, and is standing on a bridge overlooking the Seine one night, contemplating suicide, when she's approached by a man named Gabor (Daniel Auteuil). Gabor announces he's a knife-thrower who needs a new human target for his act. Would Adèle be interested? Adèle's immediate answer is to jump into the water, but after Gabor fishes her out and gets her to a hospital, she has a change of heart and the pair are soon on their way to Monaco, where Gabor gets a spot at a circus. Adèle and Gabor make a great team; he's good with knives, she's young and beautiful, and suddenly Adèle's luck starts to change. She visits a casino one night and comes home with a fortune, and even when Gabor throws blindfolded, she walks away without so much as a scratch.

This is the saga of two women, friends, who find themselves sexually frustrated because their husbands are married to their work. Grace (Amy Lindsay) and her good friend Jenifer (Kim Yates) and their spouses are on some kind of vacation together or maybe their husbands are attending a work related convention. In any case, they are staying at a hotel somewhere in the west and are bored silly. Realizing this, Grace's husband Ray (Jim Stevens) arranges for her and Jenifer to visit a restored, old west ghost town.
