a film by Damien Fritsch, 61'

Every year, in Munster, in the region of Alsace, a ball with a strange name takes place: the Widows' Ball. Disguised and masked, women are the ones who invite men to the dance.

The ball is the time for them to take control. Meanwhile, men expect them to set their hearts on them. Encounters, secrets, seduction and disappointment... anything is possible.
