May contain story progression spoilers
Florence and Violette feel like failures despite having careers and families, making social performance a central source of dissatisfaction.

The two neighbors confront parallel feelings of failure and provide each other a route toward renewed vitality.
The plot places unfulfilled women in suburban domestic routines and frames their frustration through comic social observation.
