Summary Jean Doulean is a 50-year-old teacher at a Parisian school.  For several years he has been separated from his wife Hélène, who lives with another man in England.  He has since begun a relationship with another woman, Madeleine, but his newfound happiness proves to be short-lived.  After a fracas with the police, Jean is transferred to another school.  Then he learns that his 18-year-old daughter wants to give up her studies so that she can live with her boyfriend Marc.  After a violent disagreement, which ends with Jean slapping her in the face, Isabelle leaves him and goes to live with her mother in England.  As if that isn’t enough, Jean is also about to lose Madeleine... © Willems Henri (Brussels, Belgium) Review Write a review for this film...
