Marie Vernoux

Un hombre. Una mujer. Casados... pero no juntos. Están desempleados. Él desde hace algunas semanas, ella desde catorce meses. No tienen nada que hacer de sus jornadas. Se convierten, primero en amigos, luego en amantes. Es una amistad, que día tras día, sin que sea voluntario, acaba en amor. Un amor clandestino, insolente, despreocupado, imprevisto para días de desempleados.

Several lives intersect when a middle-aged woman is left by her husband, and she decides to trek him down with the help of her equally troubled sister.

An allegory of the Golem, a Jewish mythical creature personifying displacement and exile, this film tells the story of a woman (similar to the biblical Ruth) and her sisters, who are forced into exile after the death of their husbands. It is set in 1990s Paris, where the director was living in self-imposed exile following the ban on his 1982 documentary in Israel. The recurring theme of the film is migrations and unrooting, like the legendary Golem.
