Plot
The beautiful and shy Valentin, with whom all the women fall in love, has much to do between his insatiable mistress, Claudia; her jealous husband, Freddy; his selfish and immature mother; alcoholic neighbor, Jane; the concierge Antonia; the three neighboring youths on the 5th Floor, Noor, Florence and especially Elodie; and a mysterious young Chinese Tiger Lily, held in slavery in the house opposite.
There is a housewarming, with all the neighbors and friends of the neighborhood, triggering unexpected violence. Soon after, Valentin is found murdered in the nearby park under the bridge where he had to wait for Tiger Lily. Who committed the crime?
