Balionte
Adaptación de la novela homónima de François Mauriac (publicada en 1927). Se centra en Thérèse, una joven mujer libre de principios del siglo XX. Casada por obligación con Bernard Desqueyroux, insensible a los placeres de la carne, insatisfecha en el plano intelectual y, en general, aburrida de esperar, Thérèse, en un arrebato absurdo y desesperado, intenta envenenar a su esposo. Una vez desenmascarada, Thérèse cae en desgracia al haber deshonrado a su familia y a su marido. Ahora, además, tendrá que enfrentarse a la justicia.
When Paul dies, he leaves his wife Eve with a mountain of debt. As the police begin their investigation into Paul’s death, Eve is supported by a lawyer named Chollet, a friend of her husband who generously helps her to clear the debts she has inherited. Eve and Chollet become close, perhaps too close, and their intimacy soon begins to arouse the suspicions of the police..
