电影根据蕾切尔·约德的同名小说《夜母》改编，原作入围了美国笔会/海明威奖。讲述了一位新晋为母亲的女性艺术家，在全职照顾孩子时越发孤独焦虑的故事。在她眼里，自己从来都不是一个母亲，既然现在成了母亲，就一定要成为快乐的那个。经过多番努力与尝试后，她发现只有变身母狗可以实现这一愿望。

Set in a boiling Marseille neighborhood plagued by a heat wave, the movie revolves around three roommates who gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbors from their balcony. Until a late-night drink turns into a bloody affair. Sometimes gory, sometimes brazen, always playful.
