Le Bilan Maletras

Jules Malétras is a successful man of humble origin. Yet despite his money and his status in the good society of Le Havre, he remains a brutal and uneducated man whose life is nowhere near as perfect as it seems. His son is dead, his daughter avoids him; as for his wife, each time he looks at her, it is to remember that they are not from the same background ... One evening, almost by accident, he strangles his young mistress. Will this senseless gesture mark the start of a new life?
