Based on a Simenon novel, this is an inimitably French drama of conscience, in which the wholly unlikeable Lambert, who has killed a group of children in an auto accident, gains our sympathy as he begins to take responsibility for his actions. A marvellous rainy evocation of life in a small French provincial town provides the background. One of the excellent films shown on TV5 which would never get commercial distribution outside France.
