兩個蒙面人在街上綁架了一個女人并向其索要贖金，他們將她綁了起來并且堵住了她的嘴巴，但這個女人憑借自己有限的力量破壞了綁匪精心策劃的計劃。

 這是一位始終以兩性關系、婚姻道德為主題的電影作者，這部獲得奧斯卡最佳外語片的《掏出你的手帕》也不在例外。關于影片，布里耶是這樣解釋的：“表面上看這是一部怪誕的電影，但實際上這是一部徹底顛倒道德標準的片子，不過表現得比較委婉且具有魅力。如果仔細觀察就可以看出，所有的道德價值都被顛倒了，所有的道德傳統都被拋到了一邊。人物的思想狀態正處于一種極端混亂的時期，今天你也許還不會把妻子當作禮物送給別人，但也許將來你就可以做到了。”

　　Anna is stuck: she's approaching 30, living like a hermit in her mum's garden shed and wondering why the suffragettes ever bothered. She spends her days making videos using her thumbs as actors - thumbs that bicker about things like whether Yogi Bear is a moral or existential nihilist. But Anna doesn't show these videos to anyone and no one knows what they are for. A week before her birthday her Mum serves her an ultimatum - she needs to move out of the shed, get a haircut that doesn't put her gender in question and stop dressing like a homeless teenager. Naturally, Anna tells her Mum to "back the f-off". However, when her school friend comes to visit, Anna's self-imposed isolation becomes impossible to maintain. Soon she is entangled with a troubled eight year old boy obsessed with Westerns, and the local estate agent whose awkward interpersonal skills continually undermine his attempts to seduce her.
