Emotional Confusions is a French love drama directed by Noémie Lvovsky from 2003.
action
Edith and François get married and move to the country. Here they bought a house that is right next to that of doctor Jacques, who lives here with his wife Carole and their two children. The young doctor François is supposed to be Jacques' successor, because at 40 he already feels too old for work. Both families now often spend the evenings together and especially housewife Carole and the young Edith, who receives a fixed-term contract in a photo shop, spend a lot of time together while the men visit patients. A shock experience welds both women even closer together: Carole and later Edith see a Chinese man in Carole's house one evening who has obviously broken into. Both flee the house. Carole later discovers that one of her precious rings has disappeared. She suspects that the Chinese stole it.
The meeting with Edith awakened new spirits in Jacques. He begins to keep fit and rides a bicycle to prove to himself that he is not yet old iron. A day at the lake when he and Edith save a duck from an angler brings an initial contact that the others have never seen. When Jacques later gets dust in his eye, Edith takes care of him and they kiss for the first time. He starts taking pictures so that he can order the pictures from her in the shop. Jacques also matches them on the way to work. Eventually they both end up in a hotel room, where they sleep together. While Jacques thrives on Edith, he increasingly neglects Carole, who attributes alcohol. One evening the wine runs out during a cozy get-together. Carole goes to the wine cellar to get a new bottle and shortly afterwards notices Jacques and Edith also come into the cellar and start kissing wildly. Carole makes herself loud. While the relationship between Jacques and Carole was initially silent, François separated from Edith and moved out. Carole suffers silently, while Edith becomes highly emotional. She goes to Carole to speak up and later, crying in desperation, seeks François, without whom she cannot live. François returns to her. Carole, in turn, initially tries to be a good housewife, but he doesn't appreciate her efforts. When she furiously accuses him, he pokes her so brutally into the dining room window that she has to be hospitalized. When she is released, Edith and François are already packing their things and moving out of the neighboring house. A little later, new potential buyers of the house appear. Jacques remembers his erotic fantasies with Edith and breaks down in tears.
