A powerful drama about two very different women who meet and befriend. Isa is an optimistic wanderer; Marie, a rebellious pessimist. Gradually, a close friendship forms and the two become roommates, but when Marie falls into a passionate affair with a cocky young man, the friendship deteriorates... with tragic results. An acting tour-de-force by Bouchez and Regnier.
