Synopsis:

A tale about the hardships of a young female judge who's being manipulated in both her professional and her love life.

Mocky is a controversial French filmmaker. After his brilliant social comedies of the '60s and his politically disenchanted movies of the '70s, he seemed to lose his verve, playing a provocative role without much conviction, although sometimes there are good scenes even in his uninteresting films. But this one is a forceful cynical comedy about the complicity of corrupted politics and Catholics being part of a European flesh trade (prostitution and money, because 'flesh' exists in French as a slang word for 'dough'). Mocky points out the loss of judicial independence in our so-called French democracy, with its now hypocritical motto of 'liberté, égalité, fraternité ' (liberty, equality, brotherhood). His verve is back for the best!
