Middle-aged perfumer Vic Allen (Jean-Louis Trintignant) lives on the island of Jersey with his young wife Mélanie (Isabelle Huppert) and their daughter Marion (Sandrine Kljajic). Mélanie embarks on a string of extra-marital flirtations, all with her husband's apparent approval, but mild-mannered, chess-playing Vic soon has murder on his mind.
