Marie et Tom

"A woman in search of the truth!"

Marie Bertin is in at a dead end, both personally and professionally. When Pierre Gendreau, a former Canadian minister, asked for her help in writing his briefs, she saw the solution to a situation that had become unbearable. She hoped for a lot in this new life in Quebec, with her son, Tom, whom she had "all alone" a few months earlier. But, once in her new position, the situation is far from idyllic. The atmosphere of the house is heavy. The relations between Pierre, his wife, Nathalie, and their son François are tense.

The Secret

Marie, who works as a successful door-to-door encyclopedia salesperson, has been married to her husband Francois for 12 years and has a two-year-old son. Though she is relatively content with her life, she feels something is wanting. Enter 50-year old African-American Bill. Initially she is annoyed by his insouciance, but she finds that she is irresistibly attracted to him. Soon the two are in the midst of sordid illicit affair. She knows little about her new lover, and he seems uninterested in learning about her, but the long sessions of lovemaking are something else entirely. Feeling out of control, Marie is increasingly repelled by her own actions. Psychologically, she struggles to reconcile her torrid encounters with Bill and mundane domestic chores such as bathing her son. Moreover, she finds herself incapable of hiding her adulterous behavior, rather she comes home with scratches and hickeys all over her body, to the devastation Francois.
