Adapted from the novel "Beautiful Friend" by Guy de Maupassant, known as the "king of short stories." Veteran George Duroy (played by Robert Pattinson) arrives in Paris alone after serving in Africa and lives a hard life working various jobs at the railway department. By chance, he reunites with an old comrade, who helps him get a job as an editor at "Le Vie Française." He works hard to become an important writer for the "Walter Gang" and gets involved in a scheme of betrayal. Using his handsome appearance and some tricks to charm women, he maneuvers among wealthy women like Clotilde (played by Christina Ricci), Madeleine (played by Uma Thurman), and Madame Walter (played by Kristin Scott Thomas), all of whom become victims of his rise to success. He shamelessly exploits women to gain wealth, engages in opportunistic ventures, gradually infiltrates high society, and ultimately deceives the newspaper owner Walter's daughter, Susan (played by Holliday Grainger), into marrying him. He becomes the chief editor of the newspaper, consolidating power, wealth, and fame, successfully achieving a bright future.
