Thirst Street 2017

Gina (Lindsay Burdge), an American flight attendant in her mid-30s, still grappling with the devastating loss of her boyfriend, finds herself drawn to the unassuming charm of Jerome (Damien Bonnard) during a chance encounter at a Parisian strip club. The fleeting connection between them is palpable, as Gina is captivated by Jerome’s uncanny resemblance to her late love. Their whirlwind romance unfolds in a haze of passion and reckless abandon, culminating in multiple trysts that leave Gina smitten.

As the intoxicating thrill of their affair wears off, Gina makes the impulsive decision to upend her life, abandoning her job as a flight attendant and trading it for a waitress position at the very same strip club where she met Jerome. She also secures an apartment directly across from his, all in a misguided attempt to rekindle their connection.

Initially, Jerome seems receptive to Gina’s affections, but as time passes, he grows increasingly uncomfortable with her intensity, ultimately reuniting with his on-again, off-again rock singer girlfriend, Clémence. Crushed by this turn of events, Gina’s world begins to crumble, and she finds herself wallowing in depression.

As her life spirals out of control, Gina becomes detached from reality, neglecting her responsibilities at the strip club and failing to pay rent on her apartment. The inevitable consequences unfold as she is evicted and subsequently fired from her job.

In a desperate bid to reinsert herself into Jerome’s life, Gina concocts a deceitful scheme, fabricating the existence of his child. Her lies ultimately lead to a catastrophic confrontation, which culminates in Jerome being struck by a car and falling into a coma.

As hospital personnel mistakes her for Jerome’s fiancée, Gina seizes the opportunity to claim his possessions, including the engagement ring he had purchased, proudly adorning it as a symbol of her misguided devotion.
