The Death of Madame Chauvet

As a clever, depraved woman of business, Madame Carolina Chauvet owns the vibrant gentlemen's club, the French Maidens, in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The end of World War II has not only produced an influx of victorious, lustful men, but a naive farmer from Indiana, Willy, has found himself seated at the bar of the vivacious club. As he attempts to keep a family promise, Willy is instantly attracted to Madame Chauvet and entranced by the surreal nights that he wouldn't dare dream about. Unforeseen circumstances land Willy behind the bar of the club where he is immersed in the intricate operations of Madame Chauvet. There is more to the French Maidens than shiny poles and topless dancers, and things are starting to go wrong. Madame Chauvet is left to question if the young farmer is to blame for the failures her business is enduring or if the staff she has trusted for years is capable of sabotage.Laced with a perfect amount of New Orleans voodoo, The Death of Madame Chauvet is an ominous tale of how far one will go for vengeance, love, opulence, and hatred. Make yourself a delectable French 75, find a seat at the catwalk, and enjoy the show. Welcome to the French Maidens.
