In a vibrant and bustling 1960s Paris, a group of women from different ages and backgrounds embarks on an unexpected journey through the history of love and sexuality. As they explore their own experiences and those of the people around them, each reveals her dreams, longings, and frustrations in a world that often objectifies them. From a naive young woman searching for her first love to an experienced worker sharing the hard lessons life has taught her, the narrative intertwines moments of tenderness, humor, and reflections on life.
The conversations between them, filled with sharp humor and palpable pain, expose not only their reality as sex workers but also the expectations and prejudices of the society of the time. As men come and go in their lives, the women find in their friendship a refuge and a form of resistance against a world that does not always value them. The brilliant direction of Marcel Carné and the captivating performances of the cast bring to life a poignant mosaic of interwoven stories, capturing the essence of femininity and the struggle for autonomy. The film, as a whole, challenges perceptions of intimacy and desire, asserting each woman's power to define her own destiny, leaving a lasting mark on the history of cinema.
