A tale set in a decaying Parisian porn theatre, where within its dark

engage in anonymous sex acts. In the ticket booth of the theatre, a wise
Italian woman serves as benevolent gatekeeper, observing--but never
judging--the proceedings occurring under her watchful eyes. One day, one of
her regulars engages her in a conversation that leads to an unusual
friendship, as these two worldly souls share their common experiences.

Sequel to La Cage aux folles has homosexual nightclub owner Renato and his

and foreign spies when Albin unwittingly gets his hands on a role of stolen

little peace there with their frequent bickering among themselves.
