Marie, a literature professor at a Parisian university, has been with her husband Jean for 25 years; the couple like to spend their summer holidays by the seaside. One day, Marie goes swimming, and Jean vanishes. When Marie leaves the water, she can’t find him anywhere, and no one else has seen him either. Without Jean, Marie’s days are spent in a state of profound self-searching as her life becomes characterized by denial and emotional defeat.
