An impossible love. A Parisian whore and a young man fall in love, but, since she is so popular with all the clients, her pimp won't let her go. I really liked this film; I thought the characters of Rosa, Julien and the young boy to be played out well. It was a tragic story that I would parallel to (a modern, alternative version of) Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet. A movie that I do recommend.

Rosa is just about credible...the other characters are from a different galaxy. Avoid at all costs. Even French cinema goers whose general standards of quality for money are the lowest in the world, rank this film among the worst ever made. Sadly Laurent Levy is pathetic in his first -and subsequently only- acting role
