Bridget (Isabel Huppert Isabelle Huppert) and Xavier (Jean-Pierre Darusen Jean-Pierre Darroussin) have been married for many years, and the passion and freshness of married life have long been gone, leaving behind a tranquil and tacit understanding after time precipitation. In her heart, Bridget still yearns for a life full of energy and passion, but her husband and her ideas are obviously very different. Xavier just wants to honestly maintain the farm run by the couple, that's all. As she grew older, Bridget became more and more restless as her children got married. Finally, she made up her mind to leave her husband, leave the farm and go to the bustling metropolis of Paris, where she looked for a new meaning in life. Xavier was filled with unease in the face of his wife's refusal to leave.
