Following the excitement of a shared life in Paris, Claudine's marriage to the distinguished Renaud has settled into a stale pattern of bickering conversations and mutual inattention. Just as Claudine begins to fear herself confined to a stifled existence, a chance meeting with a friend's wife, the beautiful Rezi, draws her into an impassioned and heartbreaking affair.

Review:
"She said what no man could have said, and she spoke of sensations and feelings as nobody had spoken of them before" (André Maurois)
"Her sense of comedy is exuberant; her understanding of character - within her chosen limits- is profound. From her imagination images rush profusely forth like bees from a hive, pollen from poplars, smoke from a cigarette, nudes from the staircase of the Moulin Rouge, platitudes from statesmen or paintings from Picasso" (Raymond Mortimer)
