Notre Dame (2019)

Maud Crayon (Valérie Donzelli) has to manage everything: her job as an architect at a firm run by a tyrannical boss, her two children, and her ex-partner Martial (Thomas Scimeca), who comes back every time he has a fight with his new wife. On top of that, she discovers that she is pregnant by Martial once again. One evening, however, a model she has made magically flies out of the window and ends up among the entries in a competition to redesign the plaza in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, which she wins unanimously. Now in the spotlight, Maud reconnects on this occasion with Bacchus Renard (Pierre Deladonchamps), her former lover, now a journalist, who tries to seduce her again, while she oversees the construction project with her colleague Didier (Bouli Lanners). Almost everything would be going well, except that as the project develops, the drawings begin to make it look like a huge penis. When the project is presented by the Mayor of Paris, it sparks a scandal and leads to a lawsuit to cancel Maud’s contract. Her lawyer (Claude Perron), who is hardly competent, dies in the middle of the trial. Bacchus puts on a lawyer’s robe and takes over the argument, but he is soon arrested and imprisoned. Maud loses the case, and the project is cancelled. She then finally gets rid of Martial for good. After giving birth, she finally opens her own firm in a small premises and reunites with Bacchus when he is released from prison.
