Every year, in Munster, in the region of Alsace, a ball with a strange name takes place: the Widow's Ball. Disguised and masked, it is a women who invite men to the dance.
Men and women are married, divorced, widowers, and often go to dances. Docile men, sitting or standing, wait for the ladies to choose them and invite them to dance. It is the occasion to confront the imaginary world of Maryse, Paulette, Jacky and others: a courting, an encounter, a marriage or a disappointement... Everything is possible.
