Étreintes déchaînées

In the heat of their marriage bed, journalist Madeleine and her husband Yves lose themselves in feverish, repeated lovemaking—yet she refuses the child he craves, clinging to the pill and her freedom. When she finally stops taking it and tries desperately to conceive, their nights become even more urgent and frequent. Growing anxious and restless, she confides in her friend Dora and tests her body with another man, only to confirm she is sterile. Too proud to confess, she lets the marriage dissolve. Years later, after Yves remarries the glamorous Agathe and fathers a daughter, a sudden tragedy returns him—and the child—to Madeleine’s arms, where desire and longing still burn.
