Marianne is the richest woman in the world: her beauty, her intelligence, her power is dazzling. Pierre-Alain is a photographer: his ambition, his audacity, his madness is stunning. A love at first sight that sweeps both of them away. Family secrets. Astronomical donations. Their loving friendship surprises, amuses, intrigues, makes people talk, and eventually a war ensues where anything goes. Loosely inspired by a real-life scandal and premiered at Cannes, The Richest Woman in the World is a classical familial tragedy full of power, buried pasts, colourful characters that are lonely and very rich –– figures who are both monstrous and deeply childlike, according to director Klifa.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
