A melancholic 1950s French drama about a wealthy man's unraveling marriage and social standing, told through intimate emotional deterioration rather than external action.
François Cardinaud is one of the richest shipowners in the region. But this success arouses resentment and jealousy. When Marthe, his wife, leaves the home without warning, Cardinaud sees her life cracking little by little.
