The Valadines are a family like the others, with its neuroses, its conflicts and its secrets. A family like the others except for one detail: she must manage a sex empire on which hovers the tragic fate of her first muse, Elise Jess, wife of Alex Valadine and mother of her children.
For 35 years in Xanadu, pornography and family have lived together in the same place without ever telescoping: on the ground floor of the manor, the X-ray film production company, and on the upper floors, the Valadine family.
But as we celebrate the memory of Elise Jess, a dazzling porn star of the 1980s and wife of patriarch Alex Valadine, a tragic accident changes the game.
The libertarian page turns, Xanadu struggles to take the turn of the XNUMXst century and the family no longer conceals its cracks. Who wants the porn family? Why does Elise continue to consume her family members after her death? How can the Valadines exorcise their past? Will Alex finally let his children take over?
Even before the series, XANADU was the place of all the projections, of all the fantasies:
• the summer capital of Emperor Kubilai Khan,
• the residence of Charles Foster Kane in the film Citizen Kane inspired by Hearst Castel,
• the American architectural project dating from the 80s, 90s,
• the imaginary residence of Mandrake the magician,
• the very bright area on itan moon of Saturn, film dating from 1980 with Olivia Newton John…
And, from now on, porn empire…
I don't know what it's worth but the atmosphere (not to mention porn) looks nice!
