The film explores the complex and emotional relationship between the two women, as they navigate their personal lives and the challenges of coming out to their families and friends.

It was praised for its honest and intimate portrayal of same-sex love and was particularly lauded for the performances of its lead actresses, Léa Seydoux and Adèle Exarchopoulos.
