House of Pleasures

A melancholic, visually sumptuous portrait of women's inner lives within a dying Parisian brothel at the turn of the century, balancing intimacy and exploitation.

The dawn of the 20th century: L’Apollonide, a luxurious and traditional brothel in Paris, is living its last days. In this closed world, where some men fall in love and others become viciously harmful, the women share their secrets, their fears, their joys and their pains.
