A lonely woman spends the winter isolated and reminiscing about the past as she waits for her husband to return from a prolonged absence.

1976 film directed by Alain Chartrand

Premier long métrage d'une jeune cinéaste de talent. La belle apparence sort des sentiers battus et présente une problématique d'ordre universel, à savoir le cheminement psychologique d'une femme, sa prise de conscience ainsi que la situation des exclus dans notre société.

After another cardiac arrest, Armand knows he doesn't have long left to live. But after more then 70 years in the same house, he doesn't want to die anywhere other than at home. His wife Rose has secretly decided she will die as she lived: with him.

Hélène is a woman who already has, in her view, quite enough children. For some time she has secretly been taking birth control pills, but now she is too old to use them safely. When her husband Gabriel discovers the pills, he is distressed, since he wants a large family. The two of them discuss their differing attitudes and desires but come to no resolution.
