Jacques Nolot

A young woman begins a new life at the Apollonide bordello, a high-class brothel in Paris at the turn of the 20th century.

Nina is a young, carefree actress who arrives in Paris searching for her big break. There, she finds drama both on- and offstage as she becomes involved with three men: a mild-mannered real-estate agent who offers her stability, a bad-boy actor who lives dangerously on the edge, and an intense theater director (Jean-Louis Trintignant) who casts her in a production of “Romeo and Juliet.” As opening night approaches, the emotional extremes of Nina’s love life fuel her art.
