“Welcome to the Venus Beauty Institute where love, innocence and sex are a sight to behold”

ComedyDramaRomance

Madam Nadine manages with pride the "Vénus Beauté" Salon which offers relaxation, massage and make-up services. The owner and her three beauticians: Samantha, Marianne and Angèle are pros. Contrary to her friend Marianne, who still dreams of the big day, Angèle no longer believes in love. Marie, the youngest of the three employees, discovers love in the hands of a sixty year-old former pilot, who risks everything...

VIBE

A gentle, observational look at the lives and loves of women working in a Parisian beauty salon. It feels like eavesdropping on intimate conversations, filled with wry humor and a touch of melancholy about romance and life's unexpected turns.
