During a heat wave in Marseilles, three friends (Souheila Yacoub, Sanda Codreanu, Noémie Merlant) flirt with a sexy neighbor across from their apartment… only to end up with a bloody corpse on their hands.

It starts out with Almodóvar vibes and colors, this busy movie that quickly adds one crazy idea and ingredient after another, without bothering to see if they fit. Soon, it turns into a horror-comedy, followed by uncomfortable Metoo moments, and ghosts.

It’s a wild but loose fantasy, propelled by a game cast.
