Synopsis

Following an car accident while going to join his/her last lover, Dora (Simone Signoret) is seriously wounded and is found hospitalized. Her husband Robert (Bernard Blier) and his mother go to her bedside. Believing her dying daughter, it is put at all to acknowledge with the husband of Gilded on request for the latter (because it is unable to speak normally). She reveals to him that her daughter forever ceased misleading it and playing the comedy to him then that she married it only for her industrial rich person fortune. Robert re-examines their common past differently as the mother of Gilded unrolls her account.

Following surgical operation, he announces with his mother the fate of his daughter: she should not die, but she will remain completely paralyzed until the end of her days. He also announces to him that he decides to leave it and that she will have from now on to walk it in her future car of invalid.

His/her mother who does not accept this idea, tries ratrapper the husband of Gilded last once but in vain…

Note

The film re-examined on copy dvd, it is not Jacques Harden which plays " beautiful the ouvrier". One finds neither his hair, nor his very characteristic nose. But its presence, among the small roles, is well attested in the biographical Directory of the cinema. Role cut to the assembly?
