La prisonnière de Bordeaux
2024 | Color | 108:00

Two women cross paths in the waiting room of a prison where each has come to visit “her man.” One is wealthy; the other works hard to feed her two children. 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 repercussions of the gulf between them.

Conflict arises at the school when the girls begin demanding greater freedom, leading Maintenon to enforce an increasingly narrow set of regulations.
