Language of the film version shown in the current academic year:
France, 1977. Suzanne Pujol is a "decorative" wife: she runs a household, while her imperious and philandering husband runs the family umbrella factory with 300 employees. During a labor dispute her husband is taken hostage by his striking employees. While he recuperates from a heart attack she brings her two adult children into the factory. Through shrewd use of both her values and an old connection to Babin, the leftist mayor and MP and her ex-lover, she gets things moving again. Her husband's return, her daughter's shaky marriage, and the torch Babin carries for her become formidable obstacles.
