Plot: In a 46-degree heat wave in Marseille, three friends – Nicole (an aspiring writer working on a story about a shy woman’s affair with her neighbor), webcam model Ruby, and the careless Elise (an actress still in character as Marilyn Monroe, in a complicated relationship with lawyer Paul) – languish in an apartment, watching from the balcony as
they fantasize about their mysterious neighbor across the street. After a minor accident involving Elise, the neighbor invites the girls over. A drunken evening takes place in his apartment, which also doubles as a photo studio. When Elise and Nicole go to bed, Ruby stays for the photo shoot. A few hours later, she returns, half-conscious and covered in blood – having accidentally killed the neighbor during an attempted rape. In the morning, Ruby is still unable to speak. Returning to the crime scene, the friends discover a horrific scene: Magnani's body is hanging on a pole with part of his genitals missing. They begin cleaning up, hiding the body in the freezer (Nicole finds the missing part and temporarily places it in a food container). Paul stalks Elise, who turns out to be pregnant, and rapes her in a hotel; Nicole begins to be haunted by the ghosts of the rapists, including the spirit of the murdered neighbor.
Ruby tells her friends about what Magnani did to her, the women get rid of the body (by dismembering it and throwing it into the water in a suitcase), Elise has an abortion and leaves Paul, and Nicole makes the ghosts admit their guilt and disappear. At the end friends walk through the city, where more and more women take to the streets with bare breasts, celebrating their new life.
