Summary:
Jean, a fortyish filmmaker who's struggling to make a feature, is married to the smoothly bourgeois Francoise, but for six years, has been brazenly carrying on an affair with the much younger Catherine, an aspiring actress. Toward Francoise, Jean is merely chilly; toward Catherine, with whom his relationship is vitally carnal, he's both verbally and physically abusive. Unable to stand his outbursts and unwilling to live in fear, Catherine leaves him, but still hopes to sleep with him sometimes.
