The story takes place in a brothel in New Orleans as World War I approaches, during a time of turmoil, yet everything in the brothel progresses in an orderly manner as usual. Twelve-year-old Violet (played by Brooke Shields) lives with her mother, Heidi (played by Susan Sarandon), and her brother, and for her, the only significant event recently is the upcoming auction of her virginity. As the resident photographer of the brothel, Bellocq (played by Keith Carradine) seems somewhat out of place in this open environment, with his gaze constantly falling on the young and beautiful Violet. Soon, Heidi hooks up with a wealthy man and leaves the brothel with her son, abandoning Violet. When Violet finds herself in a desperate situation, Bellocq takes her in, and they begin living together, but Violet's unruly nature proves unbearable for Bellocq, leading to their eventual breakup. However, what neither of them knows at that moment is that this is only the beginning of their long emotional entanglement.
