Lena (Huppert) and the free-spirited Madeleine (Miou-Miou) meet at a school function in 1952 and enter into a conspiratorial friendship that challenges the paternalistic attitude of Lena's husband, Michel (Guy Marchand).
Based on an autobiographical novel by director Diane Kurys (Peppermint Soda, Six Days Six Nights) the film re-teams Huppert with the under rated Marchand (most recently seen in Christophe Honore's sublime Dans Paris), her co-star in Loulou.
