The story of three Parisian friends who live in the same dwelling. The first (Sylvie) is Salesmen clothing market, the second (Corinne) works in a university restaurant and the third (Sophie) is unemployed. The latter moves large displacement motorcycle.
The film depicts the emancipation of women at the end of the 1970s. The radio advertisement during the theatrical release proclaimed: "Now it's the girls who flirt". As Thomas Morales notes, Les Petits Câlins captures “this shift where the strong woman takes power in relationships of seduction but above all where she questions the meaning of her life in a consumerist society”.[3]
