Mina Tannenbaum (Romane Bohringer) and Ethel Benegui (Elsa Zylberstein) are two Jewish women living in Paris who've been friends since grade school. Despite their years of friendship, the two have very little in common either in social background or personality, having forged their bond through being mutual misfits due to their religion. However, as both have followed their own life paths, Mina and Ethel find their differences greater than they can handle and struggle to remain friends.

The early sequences are deliciously fresh and funny... Dugowson's ideas are wonderfully inventive.

Of all the international films I've seen because I've been up late watching SBS, this is the one that had the biggest impact.

This is the first French film I ever saw. I watched it while I was going to school in France. The funny thing is I don't remember a think about it other than the title. But I must've enjoyed it because ever since then I have enjoyed watching French films.

Heeft destijds enorme indruk op mij gemaakt, vooral door de songs van Serge Gainsbourg en Dalida!

Ce film mÃ©rite beaucoup mieux Ã mon avis que l'accueil poli de la critique lors de sa sortie. OÃ¹ l'on voit que la profondeur et la fidÃ©litÃ© Ã ses convictions se payent cher.
