C'est l'histoire d'un homme gros qui veut maigrir. Il le fait pour éviter l'éclatement, pour séduire à nouveau, pour renaître (Re-né). Entre le personnage et le comédien qui l'interprète, il y a toutes les différences rencontrées dans un récit.

Jeanne Tournier (Moreau) lives with her husband Henri (Alain Cuny) and child in a mansion near Dijon. Her emotionally remote husband is a busy newspaper owner who has little time for his wife, except when he chooses to place demands upon her; often they sleep in separate rooms. Jeanne escapes to Paris regularly when she can spend time with her chic friend Maggy (Judith Magre) and the polo-playing Raoul (José Luis de Vilallonga), Maggy's friend and Jeanne's lover.

A woman and a poor artist begin an affair and eventually move in together, but the woman cannot get used to his life, his working-class existence. She leaves her lover to return to her relationship with a man of means. Ostensibly, she is rejecting her lover because she feels stifled by his position in society. But the class differences are metaphor for the quality of the love, with a woman deciding to be with a man who loves her for who she is rather than as an object of affection, merely the focus of a selfish love. She wants to be with the one who doesn't ask her to change.

Like two of her older sisters before her, Thérèse Martin is determined to become a Carmelite nun even though she is officially too young to enter the order. Thérèse's stubborn piety wins through, and her love affair with Jesus transfigures her short life. Alain Cavalier's account of Thérèse's joy in her vocation is based on her spiritual autobiography, The Story of a Soul.

Dans ce film, vous verrez un mouchoir de femme noué au poignet d'un homme, une tête de cochon bien rasée, des adolescents plus inventifs que leurs aînés pour lutter contre l'oppression... Mais vous n'aurez à entendre aucun dialogue. Les mots ne préparent pas, n'accompagnent pas, ne commentent pas l'action. Il ne s'agit pas d'un film muet, mais seulement de ne retenir pour le spectacle cinématographique que les moments de la vie où l'on ne parle pas. Le spectateur y trouvera peut-être une plus grande liberté d'interprétation et, nous l'espérons, un plaisir particulier.
