Marie is the mother of three children. Step mother for a 17 years old girl, to. In not the best relation with her husband, she has as refuge , with her kids, a vacantion house of family of husband.A young man , with a dark past, flirting, a tempt of rape and a murder in self protection .And one of unrealistic finals.In good measure, a version, not the most inspired, of Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert, not ignoring, off course, the nuances.The film is saved, in some measure, by beautiful effort of Beatrice de Stael. I am not convince than it is real enough but she helps a poor story, almost improvised at first sight, to have some presumed pulse.
