The frustrated wife of a French-Tunisian plantation owner,
a mysterious older woman, a world weary tomboy, an
unhappy mistress, a Parisian factory worker destined for
tragedy, an acrobat turned cabaret sensation – these are
the women whose lives are linked by their relationship
with one man – Ștefan Valeriu.
Divided into four separate stories connected by one man,
Women takes us from Ștefan’s amorous entanglements at
an Alpine lake resort, to his life in Bucharest and Paris, as
each of the women in his life opens up new worlds for
him. Women is a hymn to love in all its forms, romantic
or platonic, sometimes reckless, often glorious and
always, ultimately, ephemeral.
