Publisher's Synopsis
Portuguese filmmaker Manoel de Oliveira responds to Luis Bunuel's classic 1967 film 'Belle de Jour' with this tribute-cum-sequel, which revives two of the central characters from the original film, Henri Husson (Michel Piccoli) and Severine (Bulle Ogier). When Henri Husson meets the widowed Severine at a concert one night, she does her utmost to avoid him, but he follows her and, intent on revenge, forces her to face the dark secrets of her past.
