Caroline, Jane Birkin a freelance scriptwriter in Paris, is called to the hospital where her father Tony, Dirk Bogarde a retired businessman, has undergone surgery. She stays with her mother Miche, Odette Laure, in their home on the south coast and helps her when he comes back to convalesce. In moments of conversation or reverie, the three examine their relationships with each other.
Miche is a woman of limited and conventional mind, whose only outside interests are bridge and her Catholic church. Her assets were beauty, now gone, and fidelity. Tony has no outside interests, being a shallow and selfish man, but his asset is charm, which has seen him through his life and now serves to conceal both his constant physical pain and his fear of imminent death.
