The best Zalman King film ever made by a French intellectual, Jean-Claude Briusseau's sexually charged fable chronicles a modern-day courtesan's sentimental education in contemporary Paris. Naive, sexually inexperienced and unfulfilled Sandrine (Sabrina Seyvecou) tends bar at a strip club whose star attraction is Nathalie (Coralie Revel), whose bold sensuality Sandrine secretly admires. Nathalie intervenes when the club's sleazy owner tries to bully Sandrine into having sex with a customer, and both are unceremoniously fired. But Nathalie — a frosty philosopher who preaches that once a woman frees her libido from the slavery of love, nothing can stand in her way...
