Story

The series 'Maison close' is set in Paris during 1871 and revolves around a luxury brothel called Paradise. The story follows three main women associated with this establishment:

Rose, a young woman who arrives in Paris searching for her mother, a former prostitute. She becomes trapped at Paradise and is forced to work there.

Vera, a 35-year-old prostitute nearing the end of her career. She gambles on her wealthy patron, Baron Du Plessis, to pay off her debts and secure her future.

Hortense, the proprietor of Paradise, who struggles to protect her girls from external threats, such as the extortion demands of a local thug.

As the series progresses, these women navigate the challenges and complexities of their lives within this opulent yet exploitative environment.

Summary

'Maison close' is a French drama series set in the late 19th century during the Siege of Paris. The narrative explores themes of sexual exploitation, power dynamics, and survival through the lens of a high-end brothel called Paradise. Centered around the lives of its inhabitants – both the women forced into prostitution and those who profit from it – the series provides a compelling look into a clandestine world shaped by societal norms and political upheaval during this tumultuous period in French history.
