Jean does
construction for a living in France. He
builds houses or he modifies the current design of the home. He is married to Anne-Marie and they
have a son Jeremy. Mademoiselle
Chambon is Jeremy’s teacher and she asks Jean if he will volunteer to talk to
the class about his job. Veronique
thinks the children will be interested in hearing about this type of work. They
can think about it as something they may or may not want to do for a living as
an adult. Jean is fascinated by
Veronique’s delicate and elegant charm.
She asks him about a window in her home with a constant draft and he
comes to check it out.
The French do not
talk as much as Americans in relationships. This a quiet film with a lot of emotions conveyed with
glances and a touch. Veronique is
very different from Jean’s wife Anne-Marie. It’s not that Jean is unhappy but he does have a lot of responsibility
and he also takes care of his elderly father. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
