Séréna arrives in a godforsaken village for a work appointment. She meets Roland Dubios, a farmer and long-time bachelor. He is struck by a burning passion for her. He wants to offer his Cinderella a dream castle and sets about planning bank robberies. One fine day Séréna finds herself married to Roland. However, she flees from her husband on her wedding night. She meets Antoine on the road. He is a tormented and anguished writer. He offers to put her up in the attic of his country house. This happens, and Antoine hides this from his wife Marianne. Séréna's new existence begins like this. She is an imprisoned muse reduced to passing her time with crossword puzzles and erotic games. Séréna is freed by the gardener and discovered by Marianne. Marianne has a violent argument with Antoine and decides to return to Paris. On the road, however, a dark impulse moves her elsewhere, towards Roland's property, the man leaved from her reval in love.
