Film Synopsis
40-something Agathe has been in a relationship with Jacky, a man
twenty years her junior, for four
years. Recently, she has grown tired of his jealousy and
sentimental behaviour and wants to end their affair. Jacky does
everything he can to please her, but it is too late. Returning to
Agathe's villa, the couple are met by Agathe's brother Edouard and
Henri Dampier, her sick father's personal physician. Jacky's suspicions
that Dampier is his rival prove to be
well-founded. The doctor is in love with Agathe and plans to
elope with her to Paris. That night, Edouard receives a call notifying
him that Gillou, his ex-girlfriend, has just left prison and wants to
see him. Frightened, Edouard leaves the next day and heads off to
Switzerland. After a heated argument with Jacky, Agathe finally
makes up her mind to leave him. She has no idea that the return
of Edouard will propel Jacky, Dampier, Gillou and herself into an
unexpected drama...
