There he meets Elena, a Cuban expat striving to reboot her career and salvage her marriage while struggling to raise a five-year-old daughter in a foreign country.Drawn together by a shared sense of being lost in life, the two of them tumble headlong from friendship into adultery. As their passionate histoire d’amour leads them from a shabby bedroom north of Montmartre to the backstreets of Centro Habana, Elena and Casey discover a freedom, an honesty, and a depth of love they’ve never experienced before.Yet despite all their promises never to lay claim to each other, the more Elena’s marriage strains beneath the weight of her deceptions, the more Casey wants it to break. But first he must convince Elena that neither she nor her daughter will be broken along the way.The Crimes of Paris is an existentialist love story, a meditation on marriage and faithfulness, and an investigation into whether the misdeeds we commit in the name of love are ever truly justified.----The Crimes of Paris was written and performed by B.
