The scene is the restless Paris of the interwar years where an attractive and ambitious woman successfully makes her way in a world previously reserved for men: that of high finance. Originating from a humble background, she quickly becomes popular with small savers by offering them outstanding interest rates. Extremely popular, she makes no secret of her taste for the good things in life and her homosexual affairs. They will cost her dearly...

VIBE

A dazzling, witty, and ultimately tragic look at a woman who conquers high finance in interwar Paris. It’s a glamorous, yet cynical, exploration of ambition, desire, and the high cost of living life on one's own terms.
