A woman living in the Paris suburbs struggles with a loveless marriage and apathy toward her family and friends, spending her days quietly wandering about her house. Austrian playwright and novelist Peter Handke wrote screenplays for a number of films directed by Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire, The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick). Here, Wenders acts as producer while Handke provides both the scenarioóan adaptation of his novel of the same nameóand direction for this meditative examination of domestic ennui.
