Victorine is a dutiful housewife, respectable schooltheater and mother in the Vendée in the 1900s, cooking the gigot for the family lunch, obeying her husband, walking the long beaches of the Atlantic with her children. But then an old childhood acquaintance turns up and her life is turned upside-down for ever. She falls passionately in love for the first time in her life. But her lover's work takes him back to Indochina, and Victorine abandons her life and her family to go with him.
