Under the Cherry Moon

At the Venus de Milo nightclub in Nice, Christopher Tracy entertains wealthy patrons with his piano skills. As he raises a glass in toast, a voiceover reveals his glamorous lifestyle dependent on the affections of rich women.

During his performance, Christopher's eyes are drawn to a captivating woman in white. Their connection is palpable as she sends over a drink, leaving behind a generous pile of cash that signals her intention for the evening.

The following day, Christopher leaves a note for the woman in white, Mrs. Wellington, on her pillow. He then retreats to his secret hillside grotto, where he pens poetry and music, cherishing moments of solitude.

Back in Nice, Christopher shares some of his earnings with local children while helping a woman at the flower market. His interactions highlight his kind-hearted nature amid his gigolo lifestyle.

Back at their apartment, Christopher finds Tricky involved with the landlady, Katy, who is demanding overdue rent. In a moment of financial desperation, Christopher parts with a wallet full of cash to ease the tensions.

Christopher reveals to Tricky that Mrs. Wellington is a wealthy divorcee, igniting dreams of capitalizing on her fortune. Tricky introduces the idea of pursuing Mary Sharon, the billionaire's daughter on the cusp of receiving a $50 million trust fund.

When Mrs. Wellington requests seductive poetry over the phone, Christopher entertains her while enjoying a bubble bath. This lighthearted moment with Tricky brings joy as they laugh about the situation.

At a lavish party hosted by Mary Sharon's wealthy father, Mary steals the spotlight with a shocking entrance wrapped in a sheet. The guests are captivated, and Christopher attempts to woo her, but Mary seems indifferent.

As the party progresses, Mary’s feelings shift with jealousy when her fiancé, Jonathan, calls from New York. Following an argument, she declines Christopher's invitation to the Venus de Milo, finding herself with Mrs. Wellington instead.

The next morning, Mary confronts Christopher, still grappling with their earlier altercation. The growing dynamic between the three of them—Christopher, Mary, and Mrs. Wellington—becomes increasingly complex.

As Christopher and Mary's connection deepens, Mary contemplates her family’s expectations, heavily influenced by her father Isaac. These revelations stir emotions that complicate her feelings towards Christopher.

When Isaac learns about Mary and Christopher's relationship, he makes it clear that he disapproves of Christopher. This confrontation heightens the stakes and complicates the budding romance with layers of familial pressure.

Despite the looming threat from Isaac, Christopher's love for Mary propels him into a passionate pursuit. This chase illustrates his commitment to their relationship amidst chaos and contention.

Christopher's journey reaches a critical point when he faces significant sacrifices in the name of love. Mary's realization of their emotional ties leads her to confront her desires and the harsh realities of their situations.

In the aftermath of the emotional turmoil, both Mary and Tricky reflect on what has transpired. Mary, now wiser from her experiences, prepares to venture into a new chapter while honoring the memory of Christopher’s spirit.
