- Set in 1908, the story centers on a notary, his wife, and a maid whose pregnancy forces a fraught reordering of household roles.
- Critics praise Bonnel’s restrained, close-to-the-body direction and highlight standout turns from Louise Chevillotte and Swann Arlaud.
- Emmanuelle Devos appears in a limited, bedridden role that some reviews find less convincing than the film’s leads.
- Presented as a free adaptation of Léonor de Récondo’s novel Amours, the film marks Bonnel’s eighth feature, with Cineuropa noting Pascal Lagriffoul’s evocative photography and Playtime handling world sales.
