Angele (Nathalie Baye) has been working at a beauty parlour for years, and has become a confidante to her clients. Outside of her job, however, she avoids close relationships, preferring the thrill of one-night stands. When long-time admirer Antoine (Samuel Le Bihan) reveals his love for her, she begins to succumb, but matters are complicated when one of her customers pours her heart out about her boyfriend - who happens to be Angele's new lover!

A young man (Gerard Depardieu) falls for the mysterious dominatrix (Bulle Ogier). As it develops their relationship begins to mirror the power games of the bordello and they become unable to separate it from the perversions of the chamber below.

Classic cult hippy movie from filmmaker Barbet Schroeder, set to a soundtrack by Pink Floyd. A group of travellers, searching for rare bird feathers in New Guinea, stumble upon the Mapuga tribe. This encounter with a society cut off from all other civilisation leads them on a journey of self-discovery.
