Film Synopsis
Denise Rimbaud gives up her job in television and goes to work on a farm situated beside a lake in the mountains. She desperately needs a change in her life but she has no idea how difficult and painful it will be for her to extricate herself from the groove she is presently in. Her ambivalent lover Paul Godard is anxious about leaving the city, anxious that Denise may leave him. Their relationship has always been violent; they find it easier to inflict blows on each other instead of caressing one another. Between these two lost souls there is a third, Isabelle Rivière, a country girl who moved to the city to work as a prostitute...© James Travers
