Rediscover the text of Émile Zola in all its modernity. A crime story worthy of Simenon and a ghost story.
With Camille, her husband, Thérèse leads a life paced by games of dominoes alongside self-satisfied petty bourgeois. Thirsting for life, she is confined to the role of caretaker for an ailing husband. Laurent, the lover she chooses to fill her daily life, is nonetheless not enough to satisfy the spirited Thérèse. Consequently, she decides with Laurent to assassinate her husband.
