Madeleine and Pauline share a modest apartment among the rooftops of Paris in 1935. The first is an actress of little talent, the second a lawyer with few clients.
Their partnership will prove propitious when Madeleine will end up in the dock accused of killing a long-handed producer. For Madeleine it is the performance of a lifetime, for Pauline a school case worthy of the front pages.
Ozon, later 8 women and a mysteryputs women back at the center and in command (the actress in disarmament Huppert will be added to the duo, and will make sparks) starting from the play by Georges Berr and Louis Verneuil, to tell of an era without social networks but where the scent of scandal built and dismantled careers and truths.
A hymn to the power of fiction with an unthinkable cast. A film that puts you in a good mood.
