Synopsis

Dreams of the night before are what you have when, as for Marcelline, life itself resembles a nightmare morning after. An actress, she is haunted by her role of Natalia Petrovna, heroine of Turgenev's "A Month In The Country", which she is rehearsing with great difficulty. Marcelline tries to wash away her anxieties in a swimming pool with the help of a Glenn Miller tune. But it doesn't work. Nothing can stop time marching on, cruelly reminding her that she's forty and still without child. Ever astonished by a world to which - it seems to her - she has never found the key, Marcelline nonetheless seeks endlessly to communicate with all those around her...
But what can truly help her understand what she is doing on earth? The Virgin Mary with whom she is already negotiating? Her father's ghost, sitting magnificent on his lovely couch? Her mother, with her crazy perspective and love of boat trips. Or, much more simply, a kiss, one evening, from the youngest of the young leads?
