Denis (2013)
Directed by Lionel Bailliu

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Vincent has a grudge against Denis, and not without reason.  Twice Vincent has led himself to think he has found his ideal soul mate, and on both occasions the woman in question left him and went off with Denis.  Now that he has met Anna and is enjoying the happiest of love affairs with her he fears that history is about to repeat itself again.  Maybe if he understood why Denis was so attractive to the opposite sex, Vincent might have a chance to thwart him and keep the woman he has fallen for, instead of being routinely turned over.  Vincent struggles to comprehend just why Denis is such a babe magnet.  Is it because he has the gift of the gab, able to talk his women into submission?  Or is it something more fundamental - his hideous taste in clothing, the kind of wearing apparel you should only look at through dark glasses?  Or is it because he teaches wrestling as if it were a philosophy?  Just what is it that Denis has that Vincent doesn't?
