But there was also a dark spiritual undertone to the city during The Roaring Twenties (or as the French called it, 'Les Annees Folles.' This was a time of, gangsters, wounded ex-soldiers and angry spirits.....
Audrey Hamilton is a young American woman who comes to Paris in the mid-1920's to paint and fulfill her artistic dreams.
