Description

Post-war Paris, 1959

The stunning Gabrielle Dolié, known by her professional name Zizi, is the highest-paid luxury escort in the French capital. She drinks only expensive champagne and has a huge clientele of powerful and wealthy men, some of whom want to marry her or make her their exclusive mistress. However, she stubbornly refuses. Her past is dark, and no one knows anything about her, although rumors suggest that her roots reach back to the Palace of Versailles.

When young Antoine Fabrier, a poor laborer, enters her home as a client, she mocks him for having the audacity to want to spend even a minute with her. He persists, and Zizi, impressed by the flame of his youth, agrees. From that moment on, an unprecedented passion will sweep through her life like a tornado. Soon, Antoine asks her to live together, to forget Zizi forever and to become Gabrielle. However, an expensive champagne cannot compare to a bottle of cheap wine...

Read an excerpt

In a prison cell, on the couch, in the corner, lies Gabrielle, 56 years old, with gray hair, wearing a gray prison uniform. Opposite her, there is a small barred window, and she is looking at the full moon shining on her. Nearby is the cell door with bars as well, further away a toilet basin, and in front of the audience a simple wooden chair. The music gradually lowers until there is complete silence. Gabrielle rises from her bed and, approaching the window, clings to the bars with her hands. She lifts her legs trying to see outside, but her whole head does not reach, just at eye level. She turns her body, approaches the audience, looking into the distance thoughtfully, and stops in front of them. She slightly shrugs her shoulders and then monologues. Her voice sounds heavy and tired.

GABRIELLE Night has fallen... Night has fallen once again and I cannot catch the moon... I cannot bathe under its light, I cannot play hide and seek with it... I cannot dance under its glow, talk to it about love... mistakes... faults... But I have forgotten nothing... Today, April 19, 1986, I count. Years... twenty... Months... two hundred forty... Nights... seven thousand, three hundred two... The days, no, I do not count them, they do not touch me... during the day I am invisible... I do not live... I do not exist... But when the sun begins to hide, memories come out of their drawers and chase me like demons, to remind me that I live, that I still exist... How many years they will torment me still, I do not know... Every day that dawns I wish it to be my last, but... but, when darkness falls, I am reborn from my ashes.
