The beginning of the film reminded me very much of the 2001 book "Slammerkin, by Emma Donoghue." This mini-series is adapted from Michel Faber's 2002 novel "The Crimson Petal and the White."
A love story and relationships mainly of three characters:
-worldly young prostitute Sugar
-heir to a perfume business William
-doll-like Agnes
Per wiki:
"Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal" is a sonnet poem written by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It was first published in 1847, in The Princess: A Medley.
(Towards the end of the sonnet is the relevant excerpt and quoted near the start of the final episode - see "Quotes")
