Directed by Gorune Aprikian

Drama / Romance

Film Synopsis

Paul and Vanessa meet up for the first time in a hotel for an amorous liaison that is not intended to have a sequel.  He is a talented comic book author whose most popular creation is a fairy named Lucette.  She is a call-girl whose real name is Alexandra.  Neither of them has been happy in love and both now find themselves at an emotional impasse, scarred and soured by past experiences.  Paul finds he is unable to leave his wife, even though she is carrying on an affair with another man.  Alexandra's partner walked out on her shortly after she gave birth to their child.  This is why they find themselves together in bed in this anonymous hotel room.  He needs guilt-free sex.  She needs the money.  But perhaps they require far more than this tawdry exchange.  Is it possible that each is capable of satisfying the other's emotional needs?  Can this be the start of a beautiful romance?  Within no time, the prostitute and her client begin to succumb to the first stirrings of an intense mutual attachment...
