A gender-swapped independent film adaptation of George Bernard Shaw's classic play 'The Millionairess', transposed into a contemporary context of Gay Marriage and Asexuality, THE BILLIONAIRE follows a haughty and prudish young billionaire's quest for love, despite all the odds. The film is a throwback to Classic Hollywood films, stylistically and tonally.
The Billionaire (2020)
Victor Ognisanti di Parerga is the richest young South Asian heir in the United States. He seems to be the ultimate narcissist, but is in fact quite the old-fashioned romantic at heart. His late, beloved father had set daunting conditions for anyone who wished to marry Victor. His first spouse had passed the test, but their marriage has since collapsed, and they are both seeing other people. When Victor meets a French doctor who strikes him as spouse material, he is surprised to discover that the French doctor’s deceased mother had set her own daunting conditions for anyone who wished to marry the doctor. For the first time in his life, Victor resolves to swallow his pride and do whatever it takes to achieve his happily ever after.
