1991 film by Maurice Pialat

Satan tempts Father Dossignan, who is trying to save the soul of a young girl who killed one of her lovers.

Nelly a épousé André, un publicitaire auprès de qui elle mène une vie aisée mais sans aucun relief. À l'occasion d'un bal populaire, elle rencontre Loulou, un grand gaillard désinvolte et aux cheveux longs. Fascinée par cet inconnu qui paraît libre, elle ne tarde pas à piquer la jalousie d'André. Nelly revoit Loulou et devient sa maîtresse. Fou de rage, André l'expulse sans ménagement du domicile conjugal. Mais Nelly s'en moque : elle est prête à vivre avec Loulou, à partager sa vie, et même ses petites combines. Elle aime ses coups de gueule au bistrot et ses repas dominicaux chez sa mère. Enceinte de son amant, elle hésite toutefois à garder l'enfant…

Monique is dying of cancer, lying in bed in the apartment above the store her family owns. Her philandering husband carries on with life, her son remains aloof, and her daughter-in-law wonders if she is witnessing her own decline. They all struggle to express, or feel, their love for one another.

Handed over to foster care by his mother—who's unwilling to give up permanent custody—the now-adolescent François understands that nothing in life is permanent, and his increasingly erratic actions reflect this knowledge.

Fifteen-year-old Suzanne seeks refuge from a disintegrating family in a series of impulsive, promiscuous affairs. Her fulsome sexuality further ratchets up the suppressed passions of her narcissistic brother, insecure mother and brooding, authoritarian father.

Jean, a married 40-year-old filmmaker, and his young working class lover, Catherine, engage in a circular series of spectacular blow-ups and tentative reunions, their mutual desire a fire that burns them again and again.
