The film"s page
Jane, Ginette, Jacqueline et Rita, quatre vendeuses dans un magasin d’appareils ménagers, noient leur ennui en des rêveries amoureuses. Le soir venu, libérées de leur travail elles partent chacune à la chasse à l’homme. Jane, vaguement amoureuse d’un soldat, se laisse un peu trop facilement accoster par des semi vieillards lubriques. Ginette fait son numéro de chant dans un minable music-hall. Rita se laisse embarquer dans un mariage médiocre et bourgeois. Jacqueline, la plus idéaliste, croit encore à l’amour. Inconsciente elle croit l’avoir trouvé en la personne d’un motard qui, elle l’a bien remarqué, la suit depuis quelques temps.
