Two women cross paths in the waiting room of a prison where each has come to visit "their man". One is a wealthy bourgeois woman, the other, a mother of two children who has to work hard to put food on the table. The former, who lives much closer to the prison, offers the latter a room in her large house. Is this a friendship, a romance, a pact? The film follows the unlikely pair, their dreams of female emancipation, and the reverberations of the gulf that separates them. Nothing is black-and-white here, nor half-hearted.
