Based on Régis Jauffret’s harsh interpretation of the assassination of the banker Édouard Stern by his mistress Cécile Brossard.
Here, the characters are not named other than by functions: THE BANKER, THE HUSBAND, THE YOUNG WOMAN, THE NEIGHBOR.
A love story
A young woman lives with her old husband and more or less changes his charms. Until she is introduced to the Banker, a charismatic, cold, rich character who has so much power that he only conceives his sexuality in humiliation. A sado-masochistic relationship will develop, not only sexual, between a man who never really manages to let himself be dominated, even if he aspires to do so, and a woman who does not have the strength and energy to constantly play the role of mistress.
