Film Details

A gay man raising his 18-year-old daughter alone while his partner is serving in the French military in Djibouti meets a group of female army wives who experiment sexually with each other while their spouses are away. Made in 16mm by an American expat working in France, this funny, sensuous tale of love, loneliness, fidelity, and desire is one of the most original and acclaimed movies of the year. Adding to its uniqueness is the fact that all of the dialogue in the movie is lifted word for word from countless unnamed American TV shows. “A languorous pastoral comedy about sexual fluidity.” –Village Voice. “As if someone had hired the postcolonialist director Claire Denis (Beau Travail) to shoot an episode of M*A*S*H.” –The NY Times. Subtitles. DCP. 65 min. grasshopperfilm.com
