«What's certain, what's obvious, is that I can't imagine writing this text while I was waiting for Robert.»
June 1944. Marguerite is a writer. She is waiting for her husband, Robert Antelme. A Resistance fighter, he has been arrested by the collaborators. In a Paris still occupied, the young woman maintains her commitment to the Resistance network. There, she works alongside Dyonis, her husband's best friend, with whom she seems to have a distant, ambiguous but sensual love affair.
To obtain information about Robert, Marguerite meets a French Gestapo agent, Pierre Rabier, whom she despises. He, on the other hand, seems seduced by her eyes, her handwriting and her mysterious air. Despite everything, he tries to get information from her about the Resistance network. She remains discreet and cautious, to the point of being sick with anxiety. «I'm his cop», she says to herself inwardly, when the fear leaves her and she thinks she's gaining power over the cop in question. Feeling threatened by each other, they stop seeing each other. What remains, however, is the agonizing, painful wait for a husband who may be dead, or alive; who may be loved, or hated.
