Four attractive and very different young Parisian women who work together in an appliance store spend their free time looking for love and fulfilment with little success. As they long for true romance, macabre mysteries start to unfold.

Master of crime and Hitchcock disciple Claude Chabrol took to the nocturnal streets of Paris for this deft blend of eroticism, humour, and suspense. This landmark of the French New Wave is a disquieting, pessimistic critique of patriarchal society, starring Stéphane Audran and Bernadette Lafont.
