There was a time, in the early 20th century, when men dominated everything (business, education, politics) that courtesans managed to throw off the restrictions that weighed women down. Thanks to their wit, charm and originality, these women negotiated their sexual, financial and intellectual independence by dominating kings and artists. Entering the “demi-monde” of courtesans, this documentary provides a fascinating and provocative look at these famous, astonishing women.
