Storyline
| Plot Summary |
In Lyon, where many are unemployed, Marie is a prostitute who loves her work: she's thoughtful and exuberant toward clients old and young, slim or flabby. One night, a homeless man sleeps in the foyer of her apartment house; she gives him a hot meal, then a place on the floor to sleep by her radiator, then she offers herself. She falls in love, giving him new life, clothes, a place to live. When he grouses that he must bar hop while she uses the flat for her work, she finds them a larger flat. He grows restless, seducing a manicurist and pressing her to prostitution. He's arrested for procuring, so Marie must decide what to do; he, too, must face the consequences of his choices.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In this movie Anouk Grinberg, who was director Bertrand Blier's then girlfriend, played a prostitute. In a scene she offers herself to her lover by spreading her legs and showing explicitly her sex. Grinberg does not shy away from the parallel between her profession as an actress and that of these women "who quench their fury". She admits: "I, too, make a business out of my love for people." Moreover, the film will shock Anouk Grinberg so much that she will leave Bertrand Blier. See more » |
