The working class neighbourhood of Rue Mouffettard is the scene for many every-day life episodes, captured by the eyes of a pregnant woman. Two separate worlds existing alongside each other: on one hand there is the woman's expectancy full of hope and on the other hand the desperate world of the alcoholics.
"˜The film constantly mantains the tone of a tormented work. I have had a very happy pregnancy; I wanted to portray how the pregnancy of a woman of the Mouffe could be. Sensitivity is not what you feel but what you are able to feel. The OpeÌra-Mouffe is a fim about panic. It is a sensitive film after all; what was seen as cruel is only anguish. It is by no means a bad film'. (AgneÌ€s Varda).
