A poor family must do what it can to survive. The jobs range from backbreaking to unsavory—and sometimes, just plain illegal. And yet, maybe it’s what these people do when they aren’t hustling that defines them.

Based on a true story, this movie shows Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette living life to the fullest at the turn of the 20th century.
Colette is a small town girl with big charms. She makes her way to Paris, and is immediately adopted by high society. For several reasons, she becomes the talk of the town. But not all news is good news.
This movie shows more than it tells: We see Colette’s surroundings and reactions, but we don’t hear her inner struggle.

Virgil Oldman is an art auctioneer at the height of his profession. His keen eye sets him apart. So when the man who has seen it all is thrown for a loop, you can't help but get excited about what's to come.
This story is as intricate as any masterpiece worthy of Virgil's attention. Whether it is fanciful or realistic is, some would say, a matter of perspective.
