Synopsis

Paris 1913. In a small guesthouse called the 'Villa des Roses', the arrival of the new maid, Louise (Julie Delpy), instigates a welcome change for the male guests who board there. They try everything they can to seduce Louise, but only the charming Mr Richard Grunewald (Shaun Dingwall) meets with any success. Louise gives not only her heart to him but also her body. When she discovers that she is pregnant she hides it from him, because it transpires that in the meantime Grunewald has a new focus for his attentions...

VILLA DES ROSES is a bittersweet story about the other side of love and romance.
