Synopsis
After glorious evening during which she received an award, Françoise, a much honored, supported, and in demand actress, wanders radiantly under the benevolent gaze of others.
She dazzles in her custom-made dress, which fits her like a glove. Once back home, alone, in the privacy of her own apartment, the zipper on her dress resister her attempts to pull it down. Lacking any assistance, any emergency help, any presence, she is confronted with the extent of her solitude.
