In this lush, atmospheric look at the final days of an elegant, turn-of-the-century brothel, we go inside the cloistered walls of LApollonide to meet the Madam (Noemie Lvovsky), her elite clientele and some dozen - girls - veterans and newcomers, romantics and cynics, schemers and innocents.

Upending the period drama with split screens, time shifts and modern soundtrack, this is a provocative and beautiful film about the worlds oldest profession and an exploration of how the past is remembered.
