Mistresses

by Ann-Sofie Bárány

Mistresses takes place in Paris – more specifically in Saint Germain at the left bank of Seine – during a most dynamic period between the two world wars. A group of women, mostly Americans like Gertrude Stein & Alice B Toklas, Djuna Barnes, Nathalie Barney, Sylvia Beach, form couples and liasons with like-minded French ladies such as Adrienne Monnier and Colette. They write, love, dance, eat & drink, break up, but remain loyal friends (most of them).
