Synopsis
One beautiful summer afternoon, in a forest in the South of France, old Mr Andesmas is sitting on the terrace of a house he has just bought for his daughter Valérie.      He has arranged to meet up here with Michel Arc, a builder.  Mr Andesmas is in no hurry.  He sits and waits patiently, amusing himself with the things he sees and hears whilst reflecting on the memories of a long and happy life.  In place of Mr Arc, his wife turns up and opens her heart.  It appears that Valérie is in love with Mr Arc and intends to start a new life with him...
