Directed by Audrey Dana

Comedy

Film Synopsis

Rose, a high-flying businesswoman, has sacrificed everything for the sake of her career.  Now, anxious to find herself a man and start a family before it is too late, she becomes concerned over her abnormally high testosterone level.  Her problems are small beer compared with those of her young assistant Adeline, who has just learned that her mother has killed her father.  Dealing with this case is a good-looking barrister named Agathe, who suffers from intestinal pain whenever she finds herself attracted to any man.  Her best friend Jo has a schizophrenic love life - when she isn't a raving nymphomaniac, she is as frigid as a block of ice.  Jo is presently having an affair with Jacques, the husband of d'Inès, a chronically short-sighted woman who hasn't the least suspicion that she is being cheated on.

Inès works for Lili, a fashion stylist who is hopelessly in denial about both her impending menopause and her teen daughter's coming of age.  Lili's sister Sam has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.  One of Lili's business associates is married to Ysis, a young woman who is so preoccupied with raising her four children that she neglects her own needs.  One day, Ysis succumbs to the earthy charms of her babysitter Marie, and the two are soon caught up in a torrid lesbian love affair.  Sophie, another of Lili's employees, mourns the fact that she has never experienced an orgasm.  Meanwhile, Fanny has been living with the same man since she was 15, and has long given up sleeping with him.  A sudden blow to the head will reawaken her dormant desires...
