1999 Fiction 1h55
After having lived together for 15 years, Françoise leaves her partner Jacques. She is alone with their three children, the house and her job as a nurse. Very quickly, she begins to go out and finds a night life. Inevitably, she neglects her "motherly duties," doing and saying things she never would have before. It is an upheaval she plays a willing part in, but not alone. How can one know whether a choice is the right one or not?
