Ennui

Martin (Charles Berling) is a middle-aged philosophy teacher in the midst of a crisis. Lacking direction or purpose in his life, he initiates an affair with Cécilia (Sophie Guillemin), a young artist's model who might have killed her former lover with the intensity of her sexual appetite. They share a purely erotic relationship as an intellectual abyss separates them. Before long, Martin needs to possess Cécilia and cannot resist a sharp descent into violent jealousy.
