Portraits of Mistresses

a film by Rocco Labbé

14 min - 2013 - France

In the lively, glamourous and extravagant city of Paris at the end of the XIXth century, four gentlemen are drinking and smoking. Each one recalls an either touching, comic or tragic story of a woman he loved. Through those lovely portraits of mistresses each one confesses his deep failure.
