As Lea points out, a good body does last a long time. So can a good face. But the undercurrent of what she's saying is that nothing lasts forever. She first gets involved with the 19-year-old Chéri, the indolent son of another highly successful retired courtesan (Kathy Bates) because she enjoys his youth and beauty...

He still marvels at the fact that he came to Israel as a 20-year-old immigrant - his first job was hauling luggage at Ben Gurion Airport - and now he's the country's Foreign Minister. "It's a great land of opportunity," he said, smiling. In his spare time, he writes film screenplays. "It's a hobby," he said, refusing to reveal the plot to his current work.
