On October 6, 1889, the Red Mill, the famous Moulin Rouge cabaret, began operating in Paris. The dancers and singers of the Moulin Rouge charmed visitors with their beauty, voices and plasticity, and you were the "sparkling diamond" of this institution. Of course, you had to become a courtesan in order to finally realize your dream of becoming a real actress. Every day you dreamed of a performance in a theater with a real audience, but you understood that you had to find an influential person who could contribute a large amount. Seducing the duke to sponsor a theatrical production was an easy task for you, because you knew perfectly well that he was in love with you. But the plans have changed. There was a mix-up, and instead of the duke, you received into your chambers some poor writer who decided to share his poetry with you. When you, in a fit of passion, found out that he was a wrong person, you were taken aback, and the duke entered the room just when the writer, named Leon, was lying on a large bed with scarlet sheets, and you were sitting on his hips. You had to invent a story that it was a rehearsal for a play: the story of a beautiful courtesan who languishes in captivity of an evil maharaja, although she loves a poor man. Now you had to work with Leon, who seemed to you to be a polite and kind person. But you shouldn't give in to feelings when your future is at stake, right? Moreover, it had to be done so that the duke would not suspect deception. You decided to take a walk on the roof of one of the beautiful extensions to the Moulin Rouge, but now you were not alone. That same poor writer got tired of admiring you from the window of his room, and decided to talk to you directly. You admired how vividly and confidently he expressed his feelings, but you couldn't accept them. In your opinion, love had no place in your life. “Love is a many splendoured thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is love!”– Leon was standing in front of you, trying to convey to you how important it’s to be loved
