Thomas, a specialist at breaking and entering, gets out of jail after nine months and finds another man in bed with his girl. In the next 24 hours, he seduces one woman, steals her bracelet, and gives it to another in exchange for felatio. Soon after, he sets eyes on Léa; at first she's just another challenge. She dismisses him, but he's persistent. Finally she decides to love him, but warns him that she's hard to get but harder to get rid of. When he does decide to leave her, she is devastated, but so, it appears, is he, and back he comes. Now all seems wonderful, but his past, in the form of the woman whose bracelet he stole, comes back to haunt him. How will Léa handle it?

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
