The orphaned 16-year-old Rose leaves for Paris and parties with her boyfriend Michel at the legendary night club Le Palace, where the decadence is both beautiful and unrestrained. During one of the many unbridled nights out they meet Lucille (Isabelle Huppert) and Hubert (Melvil Poupaud), a bohemian couple in their fifties who live in a huge house outside of Paris. It doesn’t take long before all four of them are living together – they love each other, fight each other, take drugs, make art, have sex and marry in one of film history’s most alternative wedding ceremonies. After the autobiographical debut My Little Princess, Ionesco continues to explore the borders between art, power and sexuality. (Göteborg Film Festival)
