Synopsis:

Michel is an serial womaniser and professional hustler. When he meets Gloria, she falls in love with him, just like the others. But this time, things will be different. Gloria finds her reason to live in Michel. Their love is passionate; limitless. When Gloria discovers Michel?s hustling, she becomes his accomplice rather than risk losing him. Together they embark on a wild odyssey that becomes deadly and murderous. Their unfettered passions will drive them to the brink of insanity? Alleluia is the adaptation of a news event which shook the United States from 1947 to 1949: the story of Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, lovers and serial killers, whose infamous murders earned them the name ?The Lonely Hearts Killers?.

Manipulated by a loving and jealous husband, Gloria has run away with her two children and started a new life far away from men and from the rest of the world. Impelled by her friend, Madeleine, she agrees to meet Michel through a dating site. The first time they see each other, there is a spark. Michel, the small-time crook (profession: gigolo), is thrilled and Gloria falls deeply in love. Out of fear, Michel runs away, but Gloria comes to find him and makes him promise never to leave her again. She is ready to do anything to salvage this love. She abandons her children and pretends to be Michel's sister, so that he can continue his 'widow' scams. But jealousy drives Gloria crazy, and she eventually kills Marguerite, one of the widows. Michel is in shock, but the two lovers remain tied to each other by some powerful link. They will keep going on their sordid path. Beyond the morbid pact that unites them, Michel finds in Gloria a sort of mother figure he has always been deprived of; for Gloria, Michel is the incarnation of absolute love in a life she thought was over. Alleluia is the free adaptation of a news item that shook the United States from 1947 to 1949; the story of Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, or how a young nurse and a swindler, small-time gigolo, will fall into a deadly tragedy.
