Their virtual conversations soon turn sincere. Kevin invites her to Douala, where she is won over by his family and his genuine nature. Back in Paris, her suspicious children hire a detective who uncovers Kevin's past as a con artist. Devastated, Marianne rejects him.

He finds Marianne for a brutal confrontation where the truth finally comes out. Against all odds, their love, forged through adversity, endures. They choose to build a life together, celebrating their union with a traditional ceremony in Douala, reconciling their two worlds.
