Firmine Richard

French serio-comedy about an executive framed for financial improprieties who becomes involved with his defense witness, a struggling cleaning woman.

8 Women (8 Femmes) is based on the play by Robert Thomas. The film is set in the 1950s in a large country residence, as a family and its servants are preparing for Christmas, when the master of the house is discovered dead in his bed, with a dagger stuck into his back. The murderer must be one of the eight women in the house at the time, and in the course of the investigations each has a tale to tell and secrets to hide.
