Temperatures are soaring in Marseille. Would-be novelist Nicole sits on her balcony in search of inspiration, but her mind keeps wandering to the hunky guy lurking in his window across the street… Enter Ruby, her cam-girl roommate, fresh from a threesome and equally smitten with their handsome neighbor… Then their actress-friend Elise turns up, dressed as a Marilyn-lookalike, literally smashing into the cute guy’s car. However, things spiral out of control when the sexy neighbor invites them all over for a drink… and the bloodbath begins. Actress-turned-director Noémie Merlant‘s absurdist second feature mixes broad comedy, Asian gore and sexual politics in this gleeful takedown of toxic masculinity and gender-based violence.
