Spoilers ahead
Jean, a cynical, middle-aged film technician, is six years into an affair with Catherine, a much younger shop assistant. He is married to Françoise, yet their marriage has long since withered into routine and detachment. He frequently promises to leave his wife, but never follows through — a promise Catherine clings to with dwindling hope.
The film opens in the heat of one of their many fights. Catherine is tired of waiting for Jean to change, while Jean vacillates between warmth, condescension, and cruel outbursts. Their time together zigzags through impulsive trips, quiet dinners, and frequent emotional breakdowns — mostly on Jean’s side. The relationship moves in repeating cycles: Catherine threatens to leave, Jean begs her to stay, and they stumble back toward a fragile peace that inevitably shatters again.
