Synopsis
When Guillaume Valmont dies in a car accident, the
only thing he leaves his wife Isabelle is his pharmacy.
Isabelle never loved her older husband and she regards his death
as a deliverance. At the funeral, she
meets Judith, another widow, and she soon realises that her husband had
been leading a double life. A short while
later, the pharmacy is broken into, but nothing is stolen.
Police Inspector Laforêt is put in charge of
the case. Isabelle suddenly becomes
suspicious when Judith offers to buy the pharmacy.
When she refuses, Isabelle finds herself caught up in a game of
cat and mouse, but she finds out more about her husband than when he
was alive...
