In New Orleans' Storyville district around 1917, prostitute Hattie lives with her 12-year-old daughter Violet at Madame Nell's brothel. Photographer Ernest J. Bellocq becomes acquainted with both Hattie and Violet during his frequent visits to the brothel. When Violet is brought into prostitution by Madame Nell, she loses her virginity in an auction to a wealthy client for $400. Following this, Hattie marries a rich client and moves to Saint Louis, leaving Violet behind at the brothel. Violet decides to marry Bellocq and moves into his house. However, Hattie eventually returns, aiming to take Violet away from Bellocq.
Directed by Louis Malle in 1978, 'Pretty Baby' is a drama set amidst the decadence of Storyville's brothels in early 20th-century New Orleans. The film explores themes of prostitution, innocence lost, and the complex relationships between a mother, daughter, and a photographer who becomes entwined in their lives. It sparked controversy due to its portrayal of child prostitution and has been described as disheartening and inflammatory.
