Film Synopsis
Paulette, a former pastry cook, now finds herself living alone on a low-income
Parisian housing estate, struggling to get by with her miserly pension.
As times goes on, she feels she is getting poorer and poorer, until she has
to suffer the final indignity of having the bailiffs coming to take away
her personal possessions. Enough is enough. Everyone else on
the estate seems to be flush with cash. Why shouldn't she do what her
downstairs neighbours do, and indulge in a spot of drugs dealing? With
the help of Vito, the leader of a drugs peddling gang, Paulette launches
herself on her new career with gusto. By putting her former cookery
skills to good use she soon finds she has a lucrative little business.
And there's no shortage of demand for new home produce! Within no time,
the old woman has not only a thriving enterprise but also a renewed zest
for living...
