Synopsis
Chavigny, dans la banlieue de Paris. Joseph Boussard, un homme de la majorité, règne sur la ville. Son adjoint, quelques hommes de main, se chargent des basses besognes. Les élections sont proches. Un colleur d'affiches du camp opposé est tué « accidentellement ». Un témoin gênant est abattu. Le Docteur Peyrac, homme de gauche estimé de tous, accepte de s'engager dans la bataille. Il sera candidat contre Boussard. Comment lui barrer la route ? L'adjoint du maire réussit à obtenir une photo truquée qu'il fait distribuer : On y voit Madame Peyrac « partouzant » dans la résidence de ses amis Leroy. Le montage résiste aux investigations de laboratoire. Mais Peyrac ne cède pas. Le meurtre du photographe, auteur du faux, est l'occasion d'une nouvelle machination. C'est Peyrac qui est accusé de cet assassinat et emprisonné. Sa femme, aidée d'Olga Leroy, réussira-t-elle à prouver son innocence ? Olga a des amis haut placés, plus puissants que Boussard. Le scandale pourrait les éclabousser. Boussard est prié de s'effacer au profit de son adjoint. Peyrac est libéré, mais les amis de la première heure ne sont pas tous là pour l'attendre, à sa sortie de prison.Actors

Hiroshima mon amour concerns a series of conversations (or one enormous conversation) over a 36-hour long period between a French actress (Emmanuelle Riva), referred to as She, and a Japanese architect (Eiji Okada), referred to as He. They have had a brief relationship, and are now separating. The two debate memory and forgetfulness as She prepares to depart, comparing failed relationships with the bombing of Hiroshima and the perspectives of people inside and outside the incidents. The early part of the film recounts, in the style of a documentary but narrated by the so far unidentified characters, the effects of the Hiroshima bomb on August 6, 1945, in particular the loss of hair and the complete anonymity of the remains of some victims. He had been conscripted into the Japanese army and his family was in Hiroshima on that day.
