Jupon Rouge

Three women of greatly differing ages and backgrounds engage in a complicated and, at times, contradictory relationship with one another. Manuela (Marie-Christine Barrault) has a nominal relationship with her boyfriend, but is actually more committed to her political work. She meets an older woman, Bacha (Alida Valli), a holocaust survivor and activist, and the two strike up a friendship, which becomes strained when Manuela begins a passionate love affair with another woman.

A tender, well-acted drama touching on themes of desire, sensuality and possessiveness in relationships as well as a subtle reminder of the tenuousness of life and love.
