A rural drama, something the French excel at, as they have plenty of countryside. Two brothers share a close relationship, but after a night of drunkenness, their farm catches fire and a man loses his life. One of the brothers is held responsible and ends up in prison. Exactly who is guilty of what remains unclear. When the brother returns to the farm after serving his sentence, it turns out a great deal has changed. His brother has since married the beautiful Annie (Sandrine Bonnaire). A sort of love triangle then develops, brimming with tension.

Enough ingredients for even more gripping drama, you might think. Well, I didn't see that. They circle around each other a bit, the brothers have another skirmish, the question of guilt from back then is no longer discussed, and the film, which looks a bit scraggly, as is often the case with films from the eighties, fizzles out. No, this wasn't it for me. The only bright spot is the stunning Sandrine Bonnaire, whom you can't take your eyes off. Nor the camera, for that matter.
