Desperate Housewives meets Sex in the City in this steamy smash-hit comedy that traces four savvy women and their chaotic lives and loves.
Isa, Alice, Léa and Nina are inseparable friends who meet regularly for frank discussions about men, marriage and children. They’re bound together not only by the similar rhythm of their lifestyles, but also by their shared Jewish background. Isa (Michèle Laroque) is the owner of a beauty salon and mother of three whose heart melts for a British biker and financial whiz. Her sister Alice (Valérie Benguigui) is going through a rough patch with her husband but is soothed by the pleasant presence of the single father of her daughter’s schoolmate. Pampered heiress Lea (Aure Atika) cannot forget her ex. Nina (Géraldine Nakache) is a ditzy brunette looking for ways to lose weight and gain a boyfriend.
With wit and levity, and insight into the daily struggles of family, friendship and love in a uniquely Parisian milieu, director Lisa Azuelos delivers an insouciant romantic comedy that’s naturally funny and funnily natural.
