| Plot Summary of Cheri |
|---|
"Cheri and Lea live together as lovers even though Lea
is some 25 years older than Cheri, and was his aunt.
Cheri is the son with an unknown father of a famous
aging courtesan, Lea's close friend. After six years in
each other's arms, Cheri is hooked up into an arranged
marriage, and leaves Lea. They are both broken
hearted by the separation, and Cheri at times will
hang around the corner by Lea's house, waiting for
her to return from the south of France, and turn
her light on. "
