Pierre Lachenay is a
well-known and wealthy literary magazine editor, author and lecturer. He is about 40 years old, married to
Franca and they have a daughter. Their daughter Sabine is ten years old. Pierre does a lot of traveling and he
meets Nicole Chomette on a flight to Lisbon, she is a hostess for Panair do
Brasil. They spend the night
together and Pierre is very attracted to her. They travel to the countryside of Riems for a get away and for Pierre to do the
introduction for a film. Their visit become complicated and they leave early. Franca calls the hotel and learns Pierre has left early but
he denies this when he comes home.
Franca tells him she wants an immediate divorce and Pierre is not unhappy about this turn of events.
Pierre has a good
job, a good marriage and a wonderful daughter. It must not be enough for him? Flattery by a younger woman is
difficult for him to resist? Pierre and
Nicole are not really on the same page in this relationship but Pierre doesn’t
know that until later. Franca is
taking all of these events very seriously and she is becoming more and more
distraught. This film has an
ending that I didn’t see coming? 3
