He is also separated from his wife, Caroline (Nicole Calfan), and awaiting a divorce. He resists when assistant Roland (Bruno Todeschini) pressures him into selling the company's secrets. François then allows himself to be seduced by femme fatale Florence (Delphine Rollin), who's trying to escape from an abusive relationship.
