An isolated mansion in the snowy countryside of 1950’s France. A family
is gathered for the holiday season.But there will be no celebration - their
beloved patriarch has been murdered! Was it his powerful wife? His spinster
sister-in-law? His miserly mother-in-law? Maybe the insolent maid or the
loyal housekeeper? Or could it possibly have been one of his two pretty
young daughters? A surprise visit from the victim's glamorous sister turns
the investigation into a day of hysterics, rivalries and even musical interludes.
Eight women. All of them suspects. Each has a motive. Each has a secret..One
of them is guilty. Which one is it? From acclaimed director Francois Ozon
(Under the Sand), 8 Femmes won the Silver Berlin Bear for an Individual
Artistic Achievement at the Berlin Film Festival 2002.
