About

Young carpenter François loves his wife, his children and nature. Then he meets another woman, a post office worker, who adds to his happiness. Still very much in love with his wife, he doesn't want to deprive himself, hide or lie. One day at a picnic in the Ile-de-France, tragedy strikes: his wife drowns in a pond. The carpenter and the postwoman live together and bring up their children. They go on picnics, but it's autumn.
