Varda by Agnès

Two young women become friends in early 1960s Paris. Pomme is an aspiring singer. Suzanne, already a mother of two, is pregnant and 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 protest and pledge to keep in touch via postcard. Both of their lives are irrevocably changed by the women’s liberation movement.

The body of a young woman is found frozen in a ditch. From that point forward, the story of Mona, a defiant drifter, is pieced together through flashbacks told by those who knew her, resulting in a splintered portrait of an enigmatic woman.

Cléo, a young singer, is waiting for some important X-rays that will be ready at 6:30. Suddenly, she finds herself faced with the prospect of death. Over the course of an hour and a half, she meets with her lover, a pianist, a friend, and then a soldier. She walks and walks, gradually opening her eyes to the world.
