Synopsis
Sur la route de Paris, Étienne, écrivain chrétien de quarante ans, prend à bord de sa voiture un beau jeune homme, qui dit s'appeler Rudy et avoir tout perdu à la roulette, au casino de Deauville. Étienne lui glisse discrètement quelques billets de banque avec sa carte de visite en cas de besoin ou d'urgence. L'affection paternelle qu'il éprouve pour ce garçon devient de plus en plus ambigüe. Il se confie d'abord à son épouse, Valentine, puis à François, un ami ecclésiastique. Le couple a visiblement une relation ouverte depuis la mort de leur petite fille, et Valentine invite le jeune homme pour le week-end dans leur maison de campagne. Une relative complicité semble s'établir entre les trois protagonistes. Mais Rudy, dont la principale activité est de traîner dans les rues avec sa bande, organiser des parties de cartes dans un tripot clandestin et dépouiller des hommes à la recherche des jeunes gens, commence rapidement à se sentir étranger de cette demeure bourgeoise cossue.Actors

In 1958 the Merlin law made brothels illegal in Italy. Adua, Lolita, Marilina and Millie are four prostitutes whose brothel in Rome is shut down. Under Adua's leadership, they pool their savings, 500,000 lire apiece, to open a restaurant on the outskirts of Rome. They buy a run-down building, and hire workmen to fix it up, but when they apply to open the restaurant, their permit is rejected because of their history of prostitution. One of Adua's former customers, Ercoli, agrees to buy the building, use his connections, and get the permit in his name, but he expects them to run the restaurant as a front and work as a brothel on the upper floors, in return for a rent of 1 million lire a month.

In the near future war rages across the fictional Republic of Gilead and pollution has rendered 99% of the population sterile. Kate is a woman attempting to emigrate to Canada with her husband and daughter. While attempting to take a dirt road, they are caught by the Gilead Border Guard, who orders them to turn back or they will open fire. Kate's husband uses an automatic rifle to draw the fire, telling Kate to run, but he gets shot, Kate gets captured, whilst their daughter wanders off into the backcountry confused and unaccompanied. The authorities take Kate to a training facility with several other women, where they are all trained to become a Handmaid, a concubine for one of the privileged but barren couples who rule the country's religious fundamentalist regime. Although she resists being indoctrinated into the cult of the Handmaids, mixing Old Testament orthodoxy and misogyny with 12-step gospel and ritualized violence, Kate is soon assigned to the home of the Commander and his cold, inflexible wife, Serena Joy. There she is renamed "Offred" - "of Fred".
