"Nielsen plays a mature woman who loves and isloved by one of her husband's students. But terrified by the difference in theirages, torn by jealousy and the negative image she has of herself, she willdestroy this love. This film takes up the theme of the impossible love of a womanfor a younger man, as in Joyless Street (showing in March) and Tragedy of theStreet. But here, the subject takes an original turn in that the love is notopposed by outside forces, but only by internalized stereotypes: the interiorprison finally is as destructive as the conventions imposed bysociety."-Musée d'Orsay, Paris
