Cheri

Set in the luxurious demi-mode of pre First World War Paris, CHERI is the story of the love affair between the beautiful retired courtesan Lea and Cheri the son of her old colleague and rival, Madame Peloux. Lea has educated the spoilt and callow boy in the ways of love, but after six years Madame Peloux has secretly arranged a marriage between Cheri and Edmee, daughter of another rich courtesan. As the inevitable moment of parting approaches, Lea and Cheri try to come to terms with their imminent separation, but the roots of their life of ease and pleasure reach deeper than even they image and they begin to understand, too late, how much they mean to one another
