Synopsis:
Two girls, both named Marie, decide that the world is a wicked place and that they should become evil too. In a series of different adventures they prove to be extremely spoiled and over-confident while they cater to each of their desires and instincts. They use an older man who takes them to dinner. They see food, men, clothes and everything else as and for their own entertainment and they enjoy consuming them as much as they take pleasure in destroying them. They do not take anything seriously.
The film was regarded as an important representative of feminist cinema, but the author herself denied such intention and called her film “a philosophical documentary in the form of a farce”.
