CHAUSSEE D'AMOUR

2016 / Drama Series / 10 X 50’

Story

Sylvia is a neat middle-class woman and she has everything: a husband who earns a lot, an expensive villa, two teenage children. When her marriage collapses and a mountain of debt also emerges, she has to flee. Out of necessity, she moves in above the brothel she inherited from her father. Two worlds collide. She becomes the linchpin in a web of prostitutes, pimps and other motley characters who live their debauched lives behind the colorful showcases. When one day a body is found under the asphalt of the famous brick road, a shudder goes through the Chaussée d' Amour community. A persistent detective turns up, and Sylvia realizes that she can only become happy if she deals with demons from her past. Detective Ludo's determination collides unceremoniously with Sylvia's survival instincts.
