Even if they emphasize that "any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental", Welcome to New York is more than just a recapitulation of the sex scandal of the ousted director of the International Monetary Fund, Dominik Strauss-Kahn, with fictitious people. Director Abel Ferrar has equipped the Shakespearean character, played brilliantly by Gerard Depardieu, with a sick appetite for power, money and sex.
Devereaux (Gerard Depardieu) is a crooked but highly placed man who manipulates mountains of money every day and holds the economic fate of the nation in his hands. "Where there's smoke, there's fire", and paraphrased, where they are money and power, there is sex. And while the first two are controlled by Devereaux, the last one is controlled by him. Although she dreams of saving the world, Mrs insatiable sexual appetite leads to ruin/ruin.
The inspiration is the director Abel Ferrar drew from the controversial of the judicial process, which took place in front of the eyes of the world public - the biggest laundry room for dirty laundry. Although derived from real events, and the characters and their details are completely fictional, but nevertheless Strauss-Kahn, outraged by the distorted parallels with his life and defamation, is preparing for a new court battle, having already filed against the creators lawsuit.

The complexity of the truth - what really happened behind the doors of the New York hotel Sofitel– was impossible to package into an objective celluloid testament of the process (from here fictitiousness characters), as well as to objectively address the accusations that followed (that the untried French president organized mass orgies).
