What happens

Welcome to New York is a 2014 crime drama film co-written and directed by Abel Ferrara. Inspired by the Dominique Strauss-Kahn affair when the French politician was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid, the film was released on 17 May 2014 by VOD on the Internet as the film failed to secure a place on the Official Selection at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival (where it was given a special market screening), nor was it picked up for theatrical distribution in France. According to Vincent Maraval, one of the producers, the film faced a boycott by the French media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
