Film Synopsis
Onetime publicist Octave Parango now earns his living as a scout in the fashion
business, scouring the world for the most photogenic of models for the richest
of clients. It's an agreeable life he leads, hunting down beautiful
women, with all expenses paid for by his wealthy oligarch friends.
His latest commission is more challenging than usual. L'Ideal, an international
cosmetics company, desperately needs a new face for its range of products
after a scandal linking sex with Nazism. Accompanied by Valentine Winfeld,
the uncompromising female executive responsible for the company's brand image,
Octave has just one week to find a new model for L'Ideal. Being teamed
up with a frigid workaholic harridan and working against the clock is not
Octave's idea of fun, but gradually the two mismatched people learn to get
on with each other as they tour the world in search of the perfectly proportioned
face that will save L'Ideal from ruin...
