Michelle Pfeiffer's character and a handsome 19-year-old pursue a complicated relationship in late 19th century France.

A sumptuous dramatic comedy set in late 19th Century France, during the Belle Epoque, a period of social and cultural excess in European upper classes. Costumes, set pieces, cinematography all embrace the delicious and beautiful in this story of courtesans of a certain age whose lives, now more concerned with grown children and investments in oil rather than in men, live in great luxury and wealth. When Lea becomes reacquainted with her friend's 19 year old son, the two begin a haunting, life long journey steeped in love, lust, jealousy and desire. They are soul mates and their story bites deep into the tragic and the hilarious. Tastefully sexy and sensual, sad and lovely and funny all at once, a film to capture awards and hearts worldwide.
