Summary:
One sings, the other doesn't: In the early 1960s in Paris, two young women become friends. Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne is a pregnant country girl unable to support a third child. Pomme lends Suzanne the money for an illegal abortion, but a sudden tragedy soon separates them. Ten years later, they reunite at a demonstration and pledge to keep in touch via postcard, as each of their lives is irrevocably changed by the women's liberation movement. Réponse de femmes: Seven female filmmakers each to make a film in response to the question "What is a woman?" Plaisir d'amour en Iran: Paulina and Darius explore the city of Isfahan, Iran.
