Ludivine Clerc

본처가 있는 자신의 집과 정부의 집을 오고 가며 생활하는 남자, 그가 움직일 때마다 그의 가정부도 분주하게 두 집을 오고 간다. 그가 보내주는 향기로운 꽃들로 가득한 정부의 집과는 달리 아내가 있는 집은 적막하고 우울하다. 아내는 언제나 홀로 식사를 하며, 일주일치 생활비를 받을 때에만 겨우 그의 손을 잡을 수 있다.

An exhausted militant wants to take a break from the incessant frenzy surrounding him. His country’s dictatorship is on its last legs and chaos reigns. His wife Sylvie leaves their country for France. She writes about the new democracy struggling to be born back home. His daughter Joyce must hide out in the deserted childhood home in the solitude and infinity of the Black Beach. Several adversaries – the militia of a hazy regime in his native land and the Paris police – wage a strange game of chess in which he is the pawn. Threats abound and he’s haunted by his past, his fears, dead friends. He has three allies: his wife, his daughter, and an old girlfriend from his fighting days.
