Demimonde

In January 1914, a horrific murder shook up the city of Budapest. One of the most famous courtesans in town, Elza Mágnás, was strangled and her body was thrown into the icy waters of the Danube. DEMIMONDE chronicles the last four days of Elza, her complex relationship with her housekeeper, her sponsor and her lover, through the eyes of a young and naive maid. Based on a true tale of love, passion, sex, power... and murder. (Montreal World Film Festival)
