Aspiring actresses Anna (Fejria Deliba), Lucia (Inês de Medeiros), Claude (Laurence Côte), and Joyce (Bernadette Giraud) shared a rental house outside Paris as they studied under a demanding teacher (Bulle Ogier). A stressful existence will worsen, as a shady investigator (Benoît Régent) approaches them with questions about a classmate and ex-roomie... and doesn't care about how he gets the answers, in Jacques Rivette's 1988 intriguing suspenser.
