Premiere
Please note that this film is in French, with Dutch subtitles.
Two women cross paths in the waiting room of a prison where each has come to visit their man. One is a wealthy bourgeois woman, the other, a mother of two children who has to work hard to put food on the table. The former, who lives much closer to the prison, offers the latter a room in her large house full of expensive paintings. Is this a friendship, a romance, a pact? The film follows the unlikely pair, their dreams of female emancipation, and the reverberations of the gulf that separates them.
