At the coastal town of Boulogne, Hélène lives with her stepson, Bernard, who has just returned from his military service in Algeria. An old lover of Hélène, Alphonse, who was also in Algeria, visits them with his niece, Françoise. Bernard keeps talking about his fiancée, Muriel, whom none of them has seen. While Alphonse and Hélène try to reconnect, everyone seems to be at a distressing emotional state, off balance, as the past haunts them in different ways, sinking them into guilt for all the lost opportunities.
