Pierrette Dumortier, femme de caractère mais velléitaire et sans défense contre l'ennui, décide un beau jour de tout quitter, amant, relations, fortune et Neuchâtel pour retourner à Paris. Elle s'installe dans le studio de son fils, plus surpris que ravi, quelque part en banlieue. Comment cette femme indépendante va-t-elle s'y prendre pour trouver une nouvelle vie, entre une passion subite pour un prêtre médiatique et une liaison avec un antiquaire qui la mènera en prison?

2000 film directed by Denis Rabaglia

Gabrielle, a dedicated surgeon and head of a hospital department, is stretched thin by the weight of responsibility. There is little time left for her private life: a loving husband and a mother who depends on her care. Yet this is the life she wanted, the life she chose. When a novelist comes to observe her at work for a book, her balance begins to shift.

During the century of the Spanish Gold, Doña Prouhèze, wife of a nobleman, deeply loves Don Rodrigo, who is forced to leave Spain and go to America. Meanwhile Prouhèze is sent to Africa to rule the city of Mogador. Ten years later Rodrigo leaves America and travels to Africa in search of Prouhèze to find out that she died and eventually meeting her daughter.
