Кто бы мог подумать, что поездка в супермаркет способна фантастическим образом изменить жизнь совершенно разных людей, даже не подозревающих о существовании друг друга? Одна неудачная покупка неожиданно раскрыла необычные черты характера нескольких ярких личностей, попавших в водоворот хаоса повседневной жизни. Ведь никто из них не предполагал, что столь незначительное событие перевернет их внутренний мир, наполнив его новым смыслом и забавными, непредсказуемыми событиями.

The film consists largely of a series of interviews with female filmmakers from several different countries and filmmaking eras. Some, such as Agnès Varda and Catherine Breillat (both from France), have been making films for decades in a conscious effort to provide an alternative to the male filmmaking model; others, such as Moufida Tlatli (Tunisia) and Carine Adler (England), are relative newcomers to directing, and their approaches seem more personal and less political. The film as a whole manages to cover some important topics in the feminist debate about film -- how does one construct a female gaze, how can one film nude bodies without objectifying the actors (of either sex), what constitutes a strong female role -- while also making it clear that “women’s film” comprises as many different approaches to filmmaking as there are female filmmakers.

Франция. 1671 год. Его Величество «король Солнце» Луи XIV в сопровождении королевы и многочисленной свиты изъявляет желание навестить замок принца Де Кондэ и провести там три дня. Небывалая честь одновременно и радует и пугает принца, ведь обедневшее поместье вряд ли сможет оказать достойный первой особы прием. Единственная надежда хозяина — его верный дворецкий — устроитель праздников и выдумщик Франсуа Ватель. Возглавив армию слуг, он готовит феерическое действо, приправленное изысканным меню и небывалыми увеселениями. Роскошный прием удался на славу, восторгу знатных гостей нет предела, а первая особа в государстве снова благоволит опальному принцу. Но на фоне большого праздника не утихают политические, дворцовые и любовные интриги, в паутину которых оказывается втянутым и Ватель...

Muriel, a writer nearing 50 whose older lover won't live with her in Paris, meets a man on a train - Samuel, an Arab. He's attracted to her and pursues her, dropping in, asserting himself. She's willing to connect. He's passionate, then boorish, then jealous and possessive. He seems fixed on "Who's the strongest?," while she wants respect and trust. She's self-possessed as well as sexually charged, willing to laugh, and alternately firm and forgiving. He has little money, no immigration papers, few prospects, and a gambling jag. What does each want, and why does she stick with it? Is this colonial strife, war between the sexes, or a love story?

Pierre and his wife Anne had a good thing going together, until their son Nicolas was born. Anne traveled with him on all his long truck journeys, and they had frequent and passionate sex. For quite a few years now, Anne has stayed at home to take care of their boy, who is a sickly, weedy little fellow. Pierre is frustrated. Anne is frustrated too but has her almost incestuous feeling for her son to torment her. Even little Nicolas is frustrated, in part due to the knowledge that his father feels that the sacrifice he and his mother made in raising him hasn't been worth the effort. He too has some release in the form of a good relationship with his gigantic dog. When the seething passions of these four discontented mammals reach a crisis point, the result (in this film) is exceedingly ironic.

Bullfighting, music, medicine, change, and homoerotic possibilities mix in this study of friendship. Francisco is a bullfighter on his way up, so focused even sex doesn't hold his interest. After a minor road accident, he meets a doctor, Manuel, who attends a bullfight, leaving early, retching. His wife, who is also his partner in a string quartet, worries about him: Manuel has a history of breakdown. Manuel, for his part, hates bullfighting and the memories it brings of Franco's Spain. His harsh views undermine Francisco's focus. He accompanies the young fighter to Spain for an important corrida. Will Francisco succeed? And what becomes of this friendship?
