Satin and Satine are a young sibling pair, brother and sister, living joyously and incestuously, in Lower Manhattan, overlooking the East River. Their black father comes from New Orleans, their white mother from postwar Berlin, Germany. The house next door is a brothel founded in the early twentieth century by two French ladies from Marseille, France, at present run by a charming French lady immigrated from Paris, France.
