Gloria, a 40-year-old woman, lives in Nancy, in the Northeast of France. No job, no home, no family: she’s an ever outsider who spends most of her time in her favourite rock bar, drinking beer with her friends. Frances, 40 as well, lives in Paris, and hosts a popular daily TV show. She’s married to Claude Muir, a successful writer. Even though they pose for magazines as the perfect couple, their private life is quite different: Frances likes girls, just as much as her husband likes boys. As Frances’ show travels to Nancy, Gloria seizes this chance to meet again with her long-time-no-see friend…
