Der Regisseur versammelte 28 Frauen in einem Haus und filmte ihre Gespräche über Sex, Essen und Männer

Summary: Helaine is celebrating her 40th birthday by having a party at her home. Simultaneously, her friend Sadie, a talent agent, is turning 50 and her friend Kate, apparently happily married and inspiring of jealousy, is turning 30. Helaine's husband promises by phone to come later, but turns out to be having an affair and will not arrive. Sophie, another friend, is vicious, jealous, and destructive. Sadie's daughter Jennifer has an eating disorder. Helaine's sister Nancy does also. The sisters' mother stops by and is invited to stay: she seems to be the only mentally healthy woman regaring food, but our opinion of her is modified when she advises Helaine to overlook her husband's affair as she and her generation used to do. Helaine's French houseguest, Martine, is filming Californian women's attitudes about food and it is revealed that she is motivated by an eating disorder in her own past.

The power of this film is in listening to the women speak to Martine's camera about food. "I'm having a delicious time." "Nothing's ready yet but can I get you something?" (Helaine). "It's the safest sex you can have -- eating" (Jennifer). "It's like eating their ideals." "It's eating at me" (Sophie).

Food is compared to an abusive lover. These women feel themselves to be "at the mercy of food" as opposed to "normal people." Sex used to be the taboo subject, but now it's food.
