It looks like a GJ Arnaud's novel, but actually there were many French writers who could have given such kind of story, taking place in the deep countryside, in a remote and abandonned village, and offering the audiences a good and offbeat character analysis. A couple feud between a man and his wife. The acting is not very convincing though, a miscast issue. It is a curious piece of work, not uninteresting, but could have been far better. I don't regret to have seen it. Typical Tv stuff. But, awful acting. In terms of couple feud, it's far far from LE CHAT, starring Jean Gabin and Simone Signoret.
