Chri is a fun, surprising and deeply sad love triangle that discusses aging and disadvantages, unconventional love, power relations between the sexes and contemporary youth fixation.

The play is set in 1920s Paris. The champagne is flowing, the people are beautiful and everything is for sale. The successful courtesan La will fill fifty and struggles stubbornly to his aging. And Chri, her twenty-five year-old protege and lover, do not care a thing about the future. He thrives in their luxurious velvet decorated bubble, where La teaches everything she can. But when Cheri's real mother decides that it is time for him to marry the young Edme and finally become an adult will actually catch up with both La and Chri. Was their relationship as easygoing as they thought? Can they really live without each other?

1950 filmed dramatization of Chri for the first time at the Royal Dramatic Theatre. When did No Tidblad role of La and Mimi Pollak directed. This time, makes Lena Endre role of La and Hamadi Khemiri plays her young lover Chri.
