Three women(Noémie Merlant herself, Souheila Yacoub and Sanda Codreanu) are in a Marseille apartment in the middle of a heatwave. Opposite them, their mysterious neighbor is the object of all their fantasies. They find themselves trapped in a terrifying and delirious affair, with their freedom their only quest.
Thierry Frémaux revealed a little more about this new film from the young French director, during the press conference on April 11, 2024: "Noémie Merlant made her first film with the means at hand, Mi iubita, mon amour, and that was its quality, its strength. This one is quite different, a feminist comedy set in the beautiful city of Marseille. Noémie Merlant and her screenwriter Céline Sciamma have organized a series of events, each more zany than the last."
He continues: "We see a Noémie Merlant who has changed her style, compared to her first film, but not her convictions and even less her desire for cinema; it's a strong film."
