Summary Adaptation of the work of Eugène Ionesco. A pitiful couple, both united and separated by fifteen years of marriage, are prisoners of their old memories, of a host of vague reminiscences, resentments and aborted joys. He imagines himself as a playwright but in fact he is undecided, a failure. She earns their meager living by keeping a switchboard at home. They are on the fringes of life. In their room, a dead man who hasn't stopped growing for fifteen years. His monstrous body gradually invades the whole house. You never know if it's the corpse of a man killed by the husband during a fit of jealousy or perhaps the symbol of a confused and heavy past. View more details
