ynopsis

"The Brothel" is a ghost story about Julianne, a woman who becomes the mistress of death in an attempt to stay close to one she has lost to death. When she realizes she is losing this game, she runs away from her life in the city.

In a small ghost town, Jerome, Arizona, Julianne purchases an abandoned brothel from the turn of the century, and sets to work turning it into a hotel.

In the process of restoring the past, she comes to know the ghosts of the brothel. Each woman represents a part of Julianne's now fragmented life.

Across the street from the brothel is a kaleidoscope shop owned by Avery, a man who knows a great deal about the fragmentation of a life. He takes a keen interest in Julianne and prompts her to face the past she is running from.

As she becomes more and more involved in the world of the ghosts, and a murder that took the life of one of them, she drifts away from theworld of the living. Julianne is forced to choose between disappearing completely into the world of the dead or accepting the loss she hassuffered and returning to her life.
