Paris, 1978. Jane Evelyn Atwood, a young American, roams the streets of Pigalle, the transgender district. One day she follows two of them after they agree to let her photograph them. Thus starts a book filled with compassion and insight. The images that she assembles were taken during a period of just over a year. She recounts a bygone Pigalle, carried off by AIDS and the changing times.
