Plot

Céline, a vibrant and independent woman, finds herself trapped in a mundane marriage with the uninspired Philippe, a middle manager. Labeled a mere accessory by Philippe's colleagues, she befriends a savvy woman who teaches her to navigate their household finances to fulfill her desires. As Céline embraces her newfound autonomy, she begins to break free from the constraints of her husband's stifling existence. This journey of self-discovery leads her to explore painting and writing, where she passionately addresses the disparities between men and women in society.
