Synopsis
Laurent Bertal is a successful attorney who lives in Berne with his beautiful and adoring wife Evelyne.  Theirs appears to be the perfect marriage, but whilst on holiday Evelyne falls in love with a young Frenchman, Rémy.  Whilst Evelyne is profoundly unsettled by this romantic entanglement, Rémy regards it as a mere distraction and soon heads back to Paris, where he lives with his mistress, Marion. One day, Evelyne is overjoyed when she receives an invitation from Rémy to spend a weekend with him in Paris.  The morning after their first night together in Rémy’s apartment, Evelyne accidentally breaks a glass ornament in the shape of a castle.  The incident proves to be an omen of bad luck...
