A Rome couturier who returns to her native Turin to open a boutique becomes involved with a group of young women who lead empty, boring, and emotionally insecure lives.
Key to L'Avventura and many of Antonioni's later films, The Girl Friends is based on a melancholy tale by Cesare Pavese. The five female parts are beautifully cast, in particular Yvonne Furneaux as Momina.
