On the eve of his ninetieth birthday, a single man decides to treat himself to a night of passionate love with a young woman who has never been married.
As is his custom (he has purchased several hundred different ladies), he approaches a lady and asks for help.
The fourteen-year-old girl he got him is charming, but she is so tired from her job sewing buttons and taking care of her younger siblings that she can do little else but sleep.
However, with this sleeping beauty by his side, he is the one who will awaken to a romance he has never experienced.
Memories of my melancholic whores is an exquisite addition to the master’s work because it is sensitive, conscious and subtly comic at the same time.
