Germaine Lauzon, a poor Québécoise woman, wins a million trading stamps in a lottery from a department store. Her head swims with dreams of refurbishing and redecorating her working-class home from top to bottom.  To redeem the stamps Germaine must glue them into the provided booklets, so she invites fourteen of her friends and relatives to join her in a “stamp party.” The vitriol begins within seconds of their arrival.  Raucous, reckless and rude, the women shamelessly share their most secret hopes and fears, complain about their friends and relatives, fantasize wistfully about escaping the misogynist drudgery of their lives, and surreptitiously tuck most of the stamps into their purses and clothing, self-righteously appropriating what they consider to be Germaine’s “illegitimate” good fortune.
