On a whim, Alma invites Mina to stay in her luxurious townhouse for the night, setting the stage for an extraordinary connection. Mina, along with her two small children, moves into Alma’s residence, and the two women begin to serve as mirrors for each other.

The film is driven by the phenomenal performances of its lead actresses, offering a profound psychological exploration of the characters. It simultaneously challenges genre conventions with its masterful blend of tension and emotional depth, making La Prisonnière de Bordeaux a compelling cinematic experience.
