Un clan de vieilles copines (qui vont aborder la cinquantaine avec beaucoup d’enfance encore) se prend les pieds dans un tapis d’un fait divers : deux d’entre elles, qui vivent ensemble, sont victimes d’un cambriolage dans leur maison de campagne. Le scénario suit l’investigation et les commentaires des différents protagonistes, conduit comme une enquête sauvage, avec le suspense de rigueur pour n’aboutir qu’à un vertige : où est la vérité, et surtout quelle est la juste cause ?

The director Mia Engberg says this about her film and other the Dirty Diaries films she produced: “A couple of years ago I was invited to make a short film with a mobile phone camera for a film festival. I made Come Together, where a number of women film their own faces while masturbating. The film was published on a web site and led to strong reactions. Many comments were negative, such as “Hell, they look ugly. They could’ve at least put on some makeup.” I found the comments interesting. They show that we are still stuck in the old notion that a woman’s sexuality should above all please the eye of the spectator – not herself. Read More »
