Editor's Note
Jeanne is a successful osteopath whose apparently happy home life includes a 7-year old son named Louis and a peaceful marriage, but she feels that something is missing; her life has become routine, and at 35 she feels her youth slipping away. Then she meets the much younger Marie at a disco party, and after enrolling in her dance class, Jeanne feels an awakened sensuality and vitality, along with another, unfamiliar sentiment: passion for another woman. The two begin an affair, and while others disapprove of their love, Marie's unconventionality and wildness allows her to freely discount the opinions of others; Jeanne, however, must decide between her newfound pleasure and the family life that has supported her for so long.
