1984 Drama
1h 28min
On a rain-slicked night, Alma (Jane Birkin), a married woman, is whisked away to a hotel by her female ex-lover (Maruschka Detmers). So begins a long night's journey into extreme emotional violence, as the two women make love, quarrel, and confront their love-hate feelings for each other -- a volatile situation that's pushed into overdrive when Alma's husband (played by Birkin's brother, Andrew, in a bit of provocatively incestuous casting) shows up. Meanwhile, a mystery: just who is the gun-toting teenage girl and the oddball gentleman seemingly along for the ride?
