Synopsis
Madame A, Madame B, Madame C, Mademoiselle D, and Madame E don't know each other, but they are from the same neighborhood and all share a common factor: they're not doing well at all.
Help! is the choral tale of their setbacks and difficulties, amusing because reality overtakes fiction.
The screenplay, a joint effort of four people, arose from workshops directed by the filmmaker and is exclusively based on real experiences.
