New restoration
Director's cut, reedited in 1985
Élisabeth Rolland is at her second husband's bedside as he draws his last breath. She recalls her first marriage to Antoine Tassy. She thinks of how unhappy she was with this tormented man until the day she fell in love with the young doctor Georges Nelson. The 175-minute version was edited by Claude Jutra in 1985. It is closer to his vision of Anne Hébert's novel, with André Gagnon's music instead of Maurice Le Roux's.
