## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A French aristocrat gets roped into a bet about corrupting a virtuous bride only to find himself unexpectedly smitten. His seduction campaign unfolds with the usual libertine flair before taking an inconvenient romantic detour. The film never quite decides if it’s a libertine comedy or a cautionary tale about falling for your own schemes.

**Mood tags**: bittersweet, tender
