An adaptation of Colette's 1920 novel of the same name, the tale unfurls in late 19th century Paris -- La Belle \\xc9poque -- where numerous courtesans (or female companions of noblemen who occupied the royal courts) have worked their way up through the ranks of high society. Two retired courtesans, Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates) and Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer), meet for some routine gossip; Lea then meets Charlotte's hedonistic playboy son, nicknamed 'Ch\\xe9ri' (Rupert Friend), and a passionate, erotic affair blossoms for the next six years between Lea and Ch\\xe9ri. Eventually, Charlotte makes an aggressive attempt to interfere with the situation by setting up an arranged marriage between Ch\\xe9ri and the virginal 18-year-old Edm\\xe9e (Felicity Jones), the daughter of another ex-courtesan, Marie-Laure (Iben Hjejle). Lea feels irritated, and responds by seeking out young male lovers during a vacation in Biarritz, but the attached Ch\\xe9ri is not far behind, and in seemingly no time at all the two resume their bedroom liaisons.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55185125671297,"sku":"135905","price":10.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5151avfyviL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768297028","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/135905","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
