$$$: Scam, Sex & Stilettos

Ava Courcelles and Joss Lescaf are grifters who make a living using a very inventive scam: they travel from town to town, find an unoccupied house, and sell it before the homeowners return. It takes a lot of skill to sell a whole house in a day, but Courcelles and Lescaf are incredibly good at their jobs. Things take a turn, however, when the couple runs across some homeowners who have their own agenda concerning the sale of their home.

This is the first feature I’ve seen from director Kris Bakelit, and I must say, I enjoyed it quite a bit. This is also the first I’ve seen of Courcelles, and she left a very positive impression on me. Bakelit scores some beautiful locations, captures some scintillating sex, and crafts a light story that will leave viewers smiling in the end.

The story starts off in medias res, as we see Courcelles and Lescaf pull over on a country road. Things appear a bit tense between them, but no further context is given. They arrive at a sprawling villa and spring into action. Before long, Courcelles is ushering in a very posh Victoria Beauregard and her two consorts to view the property. Before Beauregard can make a decision, she insists on testing out the bedroom to the tune of a blistering threesome that includes plenty of anal. She flips between sucking one stud off while the other stuffs her bum, and the results are delicious.

Lescaf works his own scam at a different location when he comforts a distraught Nikky Dreams in the best way he knows how. This scene is pretty dynamite. Dreams is certainly dreamy, and she’s got a nice butt. You can practically see the pleasure running through her body as she rides Lescaf slowly, and her whimpers of pleasure are quite arousing. Lescaf lets Dreams control most of the action, allowing the young woman to get herself off on his dick multiple times by riding him. Holy smokes, does she ride him!

Courcelles finally gets in on the action with a fantastic scene with American Dillon Day (the first time I’ve seen an American performer in a Jacquie et Michele Elite film), and boy, is it awesome. She manages another sale and decides to seal the deal over dinner and her own brand of desert. Poor Day is caught completely off guard by Courcelles’ antics, but he can’t resist her sultry charm. Meanwhile, Lescaf seethes with jealousy as Courcelles lets Day ram her tight asshole enthusiastically. The standing doggie is great, as is the reverse cowgirl. And Courcelles really leans into the slutty aspect of the scene.

The film comes full circle when we return to the original scene of Courcelles and Lescaf in the car, and now, we know why there was tension between them. Courcelles explains her actions, and ultimately, the two reconcile with some incredibly romantic sex in the nearby woods. This is a beautiful setting. Courcelles and Lescaf are surrounded by lush greenery that contrasts vibrantly with their skin, birds chirp happily in the background, and a romantic musical accompaniment adds a smile-inducing tone to the entire affair. This scene is straight out of a Harlequin romance novel, and I absolutely loved it. Courcelles is bursting with passion from start to finish, and Lescaf envelopes her with his own fiery passion in emotional fashion. It’s the perfect ending for the story and is one of my favorite scenes of 2022 so far.

Kris Bakelit certainly has some skill. The sex is full of great positions and camera angles from start to finish, the cast brings the hammer sexually, and the debut of an American performer in the studio was a nice surprise. Definitely worth a watch!
