Synopsis

In a tightly-knit rural community, Marie and her mother are outcasts—and Marie is often exploited and abused by her neighbors. But when tragedy strikes, Marie begins charging her tormentors for sexual favors. Soon, she has completely disrupted the community’s smug patriarchal capitalist society.

MUBI's take

For her scandalous directorial debut, Nelly Kaplan waged a battle against the patriarchy—and French censors!—with her anarchic heroine, envisioned as a modern-day witch. Toppling provincial hypocrisies with glee, Bernadette Lafont’s defiant outcast reclaims her autonomy by weaponizing her sexuality.
