In this updated version of Madame de La Fayette's 1678 novel "La Princesse de Cleves," Clelia is a distinguished Canadian photographer who moves to Paris with her ailing mother after accepting a contract with a French tabloid called La Verite (The Truth). Just before marrying Cleve, the flighty young man who runs his family's venerable publishing house, she meets Nemo, a dashing photographer who lets her know on no uncertain terms that he'd like to sleep with her. Despite her ferocious attraction to Nemo, Clelia stubbornly chooses to honor her marital vows.
