Synopsis:
Jean is a documentary filmmaker. Even though he has a loving wife of eleven-years, something is missing. Spending time with the youthful redhead Catherine, they idle away their time on the beach, drive around Paris and stay in hotel rooms. However, their relationship is not as wonderful as it seems. Jean becomes verbally abusive, 'I'm ruining my life by being with you'.
