影片讲述单调的巴黎郊外一个正统犹太居民区里的两个女人的故事。劳拉是个无神论的哲学学生,嫁给了一个满脸胡子的阿尔及利亚人。她的姐妹玛蒂尔德则是信徒,在忠于上帝和丈夫之间感到互相抵触。于是,得不到性欲满足的丈夫不再对妻子忠诚。通过性爱前戏就能表达忠诚吗?女作者导演继承了法国导演里克莱尔·德尼和阿根廷女导演卢西亚·马特尔影片中的印象主义风格,给观众展现出这两个独立坚强女性之间身体上和精神上的亲密空间…The Tunisian-French Laura is a young woman that lives with her Orthodox Jewish family in the Jewish community in the suburbs of Paris. Her mother is a widow that left Tunisia; her sister Mathilde is having troubles in her marriage because she repressed her sexual desire based on her misunderstandings of the principles of her religion. Laura is an open minded student of philosophy and works cleaning a school in the nightshift. While Laura feels a strong passion and desire for her Muslin Algerian colleague, her sister finds that her husband had an affair with a woman and looks for an advisor that helps her to interpret the true meaning of love and the duties of a married woman.
