In this first episode, director Michael Waldman explores how this extraordinary country operates. He meets everyone from Prince Albert and his staff in the palace to wealthy widow Monika Bacardi, who takes him on a tour in her chauffeur-driven classic Rolls Royce. Waldman then goes trackside with former F1 winner David Coulthard and team owner Eddie Jordan during the Monaco Grand Prix. As visitors flock in for the Grand Prix weekend, Waldman speaks to the harbour-masters responsible for guiding yachts worth millions to their moorings, and to Sylvie, a housekeeper to the stars at the iconic Hotel de Paris whose job it is to tend to the every whim of the VIP guests. It is also a busy time for the parking valets at the hotel, who have to cope with their demanding guests and their supercars. Where once discretion ruled, for the YouTube generation, showing off is now everything.
