It is 1583 in Venice. Society has proscribed a place for its women. The vast majority are to remain the uneducated maintainers of households for their husbands.
Based on Maragaret Rosenthal's fact-based "The Honest Courtesan," the film tells the story of Veronica Franco (Catherine McCormack), a young woman of humble means in 1583 Venice. With no dowry to offer, Veronic has little hope of ever being a suitable match for her beloved Marco Venier, a gentleman of high station. In fact, her mother (Jacqueline Bisset) offers that Veronica's only hope of a good life which can support her family is to become a courtesan to the powerful men of Venice. Though she initially recoils at the idea, Veronica soon finds herself one of the most desired women in Venice, sharing her bed with senators, kings, bishops...
