A film by Catherine Corsini
French release August 22 2001
Synopsis
Louise and Nathalie are both in their thirties. They meet up again after more than ten years without seeing each other. Louise is a prosthodontist while Nathalie has become a stage actress, something that they both dreamed of being one day. Because she admires Nathalie, Louise wants to make her happy despite herself, and so schemes to have her hired to play "Lulu" with a prestigious stage director. She experiences her friend's impending success vicariously: she lives at her home, attends rehearsals and makes herself indispensable. Louise leaves Nathalie no respite and their relationship slowly twists into a spiral of obsession.
