Clarisse is pregnant, but this second child is not wanted. She no longer loves Simon, who is trying to cling to the reassuring image of the heterosexual couple, impossible for them.
The pregnancy will be terrible and intoxicating, both for Clarisse, who falls in love with another man, and for Simon, who dares not say anything.
Behind Clarisse's contempt for her husband, her pregnancy and her sexual intercourse with her neighbour, there is a strange desire: the determination to erase this cursed son in her - for she knows that he will look like Simon. Her delusions of murder will rub shoulders with her newfound pleasures; her painful past, her suffocating life and her dark future will push her to want freedom without compromise and to cling to it with the violence of hope.
