Drama, Romance, UR
This erotic drama stars Louise Chevillotte as Manon, the newcomer to a Parisian strip club where Mia (Zita Hanrot) also works.

Her drama goes more than skin deep, even including an unexpected cameo from the great documentarian, Frederick Wiseman, who once made a film about the Crazy Horse stripclub in Paris.
