Paul Ménard is a good man. He is a small-town doctor who has been married to his wife for over thirty years. They have two grown children and live in a beautiful home. Theirs is a quiet, uneventful, ordinary existence.

And then Camille Ellis comes to town. She is beautiful, like a movie star. Like Marilyn Monroe even and she has her eyes set on Paul. It starts innocently enough, with a visit to his office because of a chronic headache. But little by little, Camille seduces him; Paul could hardly believe that such a beautiful, younger woman could be interested in him. But she is and his lust for her is overwhelming.

Camille slowly opens up to him about her abusive husband Marc, an air force pilot who is often away on missions. He beats her and “shares” her with drunken friends, he even beats their daughter Céleste. Camille friend Sophie calls Paul regularly begging him to do something to help Camille. Even Celeste aks for his help. Paul is a good man. He must do something.

When Marc comes home from a mission feeling unwell, Camille takes him to see Paul for treatment. This is Paul’s chance to be Camille’s hero. To do what needs to be done.

Maybe he’s not such a good man after all. But maybe not everything is as it seems.
