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.

Sheila Johnston Independent (UK) 12/19/2024
A bright, unpredictable piece, with dollops of fantasy and fast changes of mood, although it adds up to less than the sum of its parts. Go to Full Review Derek Malcolm Guardian 12/19/2024

08/03/2010 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. See more 01/13/2010 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. See more 03/02/2009 wonderful movie, this movie was really inspired me and touched me. See more 11/26/2008 Heeft destijds enorme indruk op mij gemaakt, vooral door de songs van Serge Gainsbourg en Dalida! See more 06/10/2008 Un des plus beaux films sur l'amitié See more 05/18/2008 Ce film mérite beaucoup mieux à mon avis que l'accueil poli de la critique lors de sa sortie. Où l'on voit que la profondeur et la fidélité à ses convictions se payent cher. See more Read all reviews
