A city by the sea, somewhere. A woman, Anne Desbaresdes, wife of a factory owner, is with her little boy at a piano teacher's, screams on the street, in the café downstairs a man has shot a woman, they say she asked him to. Anne enters the café, she returns there again and again in the following days, talks, in short sentences, with a stranger about the murder, about the two, how it came about. The boundaries between the foreign fate and her own blur. In her relationship with the stranger, the relationship of the murdered woman to her murderer seems to want to repeat itself.
