Synopsis

It is turn of the century in Belle Epoque Paris and a scandalous romp is underfoot. The tale begins as the ravishing Léa contemplates retirement from her renowned stature as Paris's most envied seductress to the rich and famous.

The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex, money, age and society - and unexpectedly, love itself - as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever.
