action
Jean and Nadine have been married for more than 15 years when Jean suddenly confronts his wife with the fact that he wants a divorce. When Jean has left, Nadine falls into a deep hole and withdraws completely into herself. Her 17-year-old son, Remi, makes her travel to Paris and focus on herself. Nadine slowly finds herself and becomes aware of her abilities, even when the nights are particularly lonely and the thoughts of the time with Jean keep driving her into depressive phases.
In order to be able to provide adequate care for Remi, Nadine looks for work and takes up the struggle to find her way back into life. When she meets David, an engineer, he encourages her to resume her college studies. Now finally Nadine understands that she is an independent personality who is able to be independent of her husband and to take her life into her own hands. From now on she is no longer just Jean's wife.

criticism
The film received an average rating of 3.0 on Allocine. Out of nine ratings, two were rather negative.
For the lexicon of international film , it was “a rather restrained film that deals with the question of emancipation individually, not in relation to society”. As a “psychological study” it is “of some interest”.
Béatrice Bottet wrote in the film lexicon Le Petit Larousse des films that Yannick Bellon's film deals with a case that corresponds to today's reality, without sectarianism, without rejecting individual people, with an accuracy that is consistent and touching.
