In the age of swiping right and one-night stands, the 40-something filmmaker takes a candid look at sex, love and the naked flesh, questioning how we relate to others.

The female body as a polemic in a taboo-pushing film equally teasing and disturbing.NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE"... one of the most vital and original French filmmakers of our time does not disappoint.
