Film Synopsis
Mimmon is a likeable 30-something taxi driver who constantly dreams of a
better life. Tired of being poor all the time he imagines that
one day - probably quite soon - he will be rich and famous. And then
it happens - through a chance encounter with a seductive man named John Deveau.
Before he knows it, Mimmon is whisked out of his mundane, threadbare existence
and catapulted into the life he has always dreamed of. There's no pleasure,
and certainly no vice, that cannot be bought if you have the readies, and
these Mimmon now has in abundance. Goodbye cesspit of despair, hello
paradise of hedonistic delight. Mimmon is so gullible that he really
does believe that what is happening to him is for real. In truth he
has allowed himself to be lured into a cruel trap, simply for the amusement
of Deveau and his rich friends...
