A middle-aged woman named Anne is sitting in a small black car. A look of annoyance is written all over her face. She frowns and loudly sighs as soon as her chauffeur, Guillaume enters the car. Remarking in a monotone voice, she says, “You took your time.” As he begins to apologize, her expression instantly changes from distant to animated, whipping her head and leaning toward Guillaume.
She exclaims, “You've been smoking!”
At the sudden remark he is stunned and immediately starts lying. She gives him a knowing look. He continues to deny with a panicked expression on his face, shaking, and unable to keep eye contact with her. She grabs his hand and sniffs while he tries to jerk away, continuing to lie to her.
We cannot help but laugh at the comical interaction between the two grown adults arguing in their restricted space. While Anne tries to get closer to smell him he wants nothing more than to get as far away from her as possible without leaving the car.
Perfumes directed by Grégory Magne contains many scenes like this as the film focuses on the relationship of the two characters who constantly butt heads early on.
