"Violetta Valéry is the shining star of Parisian nightlife. Surrounded by clutching patrons and
lusting fans, her life is a never ending party. When disease touches Violetta, and a naïve
young admirer makes her question her own happiness, Violetta must stare deep into the
shadows cast by all those bright lights... She knows that God will forgive her for enjoying her
youth - but will Man?"
