Violette is having a hard time at maternity leave. Florence is struggling with depression. Despite their careers and families, the two neighbours from a Montreal suburb feel like failures. Florence’s unexpected affair is a revelation for her. When having fun is at the bottom of your list of priorities, sex with a delivery man feels like a revolution. The playfully subversive and surprisingly contemporary reinterpretation of Claude Fournier’s 1970 satire Two Women in Gold follows a series of women’s “excursions” with a touch of absurdity and humour, while also empathetically depicting the deep-seated needs that brought them there, lending layered emotional weight to female desire. Catherine Léger’s screenplay won the World Cinema Special Jury Award for Writing at Sundance, where the film had its world premiere.
