Description
It's Paris in 1913 and in the months leading up to the World War, beautiful young widow Louise Creteur arrives at the Villa Des Roses to work as a chambermaid. But the 'Villa' turns out to be a dilapidated old mansion run by an eccentric British couple. Inhabiting the crumbling manor is a colorful assortment of odd balls, opportunists and lost souls. All are presided over by Ella, the gossipy cook, who secretly spies on everyone in the house. Louise takes it all in stride until her passionate romance with one of the tenants, a handsome German artist, spirals her dangerously out of control.
