Titled Jour de chasse, literally Day of the Chase, Hunting Daze stars Nahéma Ricci as Nina, an exotic dancer who is left stranded by her boss after a gig performing at a men’s hunting weekend. She asks one of the men if she can go back to the cabin and wait for the next train home. He not very happily agrees and she ends up hanging out with the men and discovers a sense of belonging, more or less becoming “one of the guys.” Things go quickly awry when a surprise visitor turns up at the camp. A freak accident turns everything upside down and by time the film ends, Nina has become the leader of the group.
