Synopsis
Genre: Romance
It is turn of the century in Paris and a scandalous romp is underfoot. In this seductive and sensational tale, Michelle Pfeiffer stars as a ravishing Parisian courtesan who takes a naïve young man half her age – rising British star Rupert Friend -- into her boudoir to teach him a thing or two about women. But of course, he learns all too well and turns out to be her perfect match. He doesn’t want to grow up and she doesn’t want to grow old and together they defy all of society’s rules. Their affair is pure pleasure – as they trade light-hearted romantic barbs and indulge in their delicious, upside-down chemistry -- until they do the one thing that will make an outrage of it all, most significantly to themselves: fall in love. And gradually they each come to see there will be weighty consequences of this unusual affair.
