What happens

A View of Love (French: Un balcon sur la mer, lit. 'A balcony over the sea') is a 2010 French romantic mystery film written and directed by Nicole Garcia and starring Jean Dujardin. Set mainly in the south of France, it tells the story of three pied noir children parted when Algeria became independent. Years later two meet again, one a married real estate agent and the other a mysterious woman being used to defraud his firm. A recurrent parallel is with the play Iphigénie, in which the three children had acted together, where two princesses compete for the flawed hero but one dies tragically. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
