Maya 1949

Maya (1949) is a Drama film from France in the lookmovie catalog, running 1h 18m. Directed by Raymond Bernard, it features Viviane Romance and Jean-Pierre Grenier. Viewers rate it 5.6/10 from 13 votes. Based on a venerable Legend of the Sea, the story concerns a pliable prostitute named Bella (Romance) who is all things to all men. No matter what sort of woman her client wants, she will become that woman -- at least for the night. When a middle-aged man named Jean insists that Bella is his long-lost sweetheart, she plays along, hoping to escape her sordid lifestyle. The emotional tragedy that follows is meant to explain how Bella became "Maya," the living embodiment of Lost Souls.
