Description: A distinguished professor develops an obsession with a beautiful woman he meets (or imagines meeting) in a forest. He has an affair with this woman, but before he can run off with her, his daughter Belle, who is an object of his incestuous desire (as several daydream sequences make clear), kills this stranger. It is suggested that his daughter only kills his daydreams when she gets married.
“Provincial poet Mathieu Gregoire leads a quiet and measured life, lives in a beautiful house, his beautiful wife and adult daughter Belle. And all is good, but routine for the poetic nature painful… Hence the longing, and strange fantasies. One trip through the road among Walloon wetlands will change everything. As the messenger of the distant world, in reality Mathieu invades the silent beauty. In her arms the hero tries to escape from the dullness and routine, not noticing that the event flow is rapidly and inexorably carries it to the painful denouement.”
