Julien, pianiste passionné, est prêt à tout pour reconquérir Jeanne, sa “bien aimée”, qui fut longtemps son épouse. Aujourd’hui remariée à Stéphane Kern, un médecin taciturne mais attentionné, Jeanne continue de vivre, avec leur fils, dans la grande maison d’enfance de Julien. Alors, dévoré par sa passion amoureuse et désireux de retrouver son paradis perdu, Julien ira jusqu’à préparer le crime parfait…

(Julien (Jacques Dutronc) is a pianist who is determined to regain everything he lost when his wife Jeanne (Isabelle Huppert) divorced him, as much for revenge as for any other reason. He calmly stages a murder on the grounds of his ex-wife's home, carefully using her new husband Kern's (Bruno Ganz) pistol so as to frame him for the deed. Then he awaits developments. Jeanne calls to ask him to come and be with her and the children, to bolster their spirits while her husband is being investigated. One-pointedly, he arranges to seduce her, but she resists until just before the police come searching for the real murderer.)
