In a desert post-apocalyptic world, young Gwen and the elder nomad Roseline embark on a daring journey to rescue Gwen’s kidnapped friend.

As Paris is covered by a toxic mist and people flee to their roofs, two parents risk it all to save their daughter trapped in a grounded medical tank.

When asked by Chabrol if she wanted to play a pervert, Huppert, true to form, enthusiastically said “Yes!” So came about this benignly-titled character study that leaves an acidic aftertaste. Underneath the smooth veneer of chic interiors and bourgeois civility, dark impulses quietly congeal.

At the dawn of the French Revolution, as turmoil brews in Paris, Versailles carries on, careless and unworried as if isolated from the rest of the world. Sidonie Laborde, the Queen's young reader, carefree and entirely devoted, takes full advantage of the intimate moments which tie her to Marie Antoinette, whom she admires so much. Sidonie is unaware that she is about to live out the last three days she'll ever have at her mistress's side, in the Versailles of pomp, extravagance, games of leisure and luxury.
