Synopsis
Dr Jean Severac and his wife Hélène are celebrating their
twentieth wedding anniversary. Outwardly, they appear to be a
perfectly happy married couple, but in reality Hélène has
a lover, the younger Dr Bernard Aubertin. Severac pretends to
know nothing about the affair, although he has been receiving anonymous
letters informing him of his wife’s infidelity. One night,
Hélène asks Bernard to elope with her. At first,
Bernard hesitates because of his career but, to avoid a scandal, he
agrees. The next morning, Bernard is elected to the post of
manager at Severac’s clinic. The promotion is more than Bernard
could have hoped for and now he knows he cannot run off with
Hélène. At this point, Severac begins to suspect
that his wife is poisoning him...
