In Belle Époque Paris, a wealthy man becomes consumed by an affair with a glamorous courtesan, only to find desire tangled up with jealousy, pride, and strict social rules. As he moves through salons and dinner parties, the romance exposes the era’s snobbery and the personal cost of chasing love and status at once.
