'A chateau in the Dordogne, an accidental meeting between two very different women who have shared the same lover. Fabrice, a photographer, is the man they have loved, and he has in turn loved them, in his own way, until he is found deep beneath the chateau, babbling and catatonic in an 'oubliette', a tiny prison in the ground where people are locked up and forgotten.'
