Henri Savin has managed a trucking company for his lover, Dominique Montlaur, for many years. Now he is planning to leave her for Julie Manet, the woman he has made pregnant, and Dominique is hysterical. She first threatens suicide, then shows up at a meeting of Savin and Julie. Dominique tries everything she can think of to break Savin and Julie apart, to no avail. Frustrated in her efforts, she jumps off a cliff and dies. Savin insists that he and Julie lie to the police about the encounter, although Dominique's death was a suicide and therefore they had no direct hand in it. Detective Waldeck investigates Dominique's death.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A psychological thriller where a man's attempt to escape an obsessive lover spirals into a nightmare of lies and suspicion. What begins as a domestic crisis becomes a cat-and-mouse game with the law that asks whether guilt is about what you do or what you let happen.
