After having a nervous breakdown which caused him to stop speaking, an heir to a family-run chain of supermarkets (Auteuil) emerges from a stay at a psychiatric hospital. His mother (Darrieux) sends him to inspect one of the stores in the town of Limoges where he meets a young woman (Bonnaire) with whom he begins a brief yet idyllic affair. A series of complications develop involving, among others, the woman’s boyfriend, who proves to be a comrade rather than a rival for the young woman’s affections. As in his later film, Un Coeur en Hiver, Sautet delicately handles the intricacies of this cinematic love triangle and offers a pointed critique of bourgeois culture.
