Marie and Jean live in
Paris and they have been happily married for 25 years. They spend their summer vacations at
their country home in the southwest of France. For their first day after their arrival this summer, they go
to the beach. Marie would like to
rest and Jean goes into the water.
Marie wakes up and she doesn’t see Jean anywhere. She drives to the part
of the beach where there are lifeguards and asks for help. They take her back and request a
helicopter to search the area.
Marie doesn’t know what to think, has he left her, committed suicide,
accidental drowning? She acts like
he is still alive and living with her.
Even though this is
somber material this movie is enjoyable.
Marie really believes Jean is still with her and she acts
according. She starts seeing another
man but in her mind, she is having an affair. The ending was unexpected? 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
