In the Shadow of Women

Pierre and Manon, his wife, survive by making low-budget documentaries and doing odd jobs. One day Pierre meets Elisabeth, a young woman who becomes his mistress. Pierre is unwilling to leave either woman, but Elisabeth discovers that Manon has a lover, too. Pierre’s attention returns to Manon, whom he loves. Manon leaves her lover; perhaps she truly loves Pierre.
