1. Marco/Patrick is about the least sexy gigolo one would pay for, and certainly not worth 350 euros. For that one could get a guy with good looks and a great body something Marco lacks.
2. Fanny, his wife, is a total twit and an idiot. First upon learning of Marco's true source of income, from which she and her parasitic family benefited, she made him give it up. Then when economics became acutely deficient she was ready for Marco to resume his profession for her benefit. Then upon his resuming it she got jealous and interfered with it. She's a screwball! He should've dumped her after that.
3.The likelihood of a woman, especially one like her, spending such money on a gigolo is very unlikely. This story is more like that of a man paying for a call girl or call boy.
4. The broads in Marco's wife's family: the mother, sister and wife were all basically whores in essence, as well as being useless dependent parasites leaching off of dumbass Marco.
5. As in American films, one would be led to believe that every white person's best and closest friends are negroes. There is this contrived effort to portray this unrealistic reality in every production.

Where do I start?

While I agree that Marco wasn't sexy in the least, yes, it was certainly quite laughable that the successful business woman and his wife would be fighting over him to begin with.

As for Fanny having black friends, the woman who helped her run the salon, and the black woman's husband worked with Marco on their construction jobs, I didn't find it far fetched at all. There are many black people living in Europe, they're from Africa, the US and Jamaica.

I don't know where you live, but you have to get out more often! Black, white, yellow and brown people live all over the world.

"Negroes"? loool The last time I heard that word used, I was watching some documentary about race relations in Mississippi during the early 1960s!
