A timid young girl from the city marries a man much older than herself. They move to the country, into a house he inherited. But his business keeps him away from the family home most of the time. Boredom and loneliness thus become the young wife’s only companions. Soon enough, winter arrives, and as the first snows slowly bury the neighborhood, the cold filters into the heart of the house. A bitter cold, that dulls the senses… Loosely based on a short story by Maupassant.
