At the hospital where she works, Charlotte selects male patients to have sex with in an apartment she has rented in town. The secret moments she spends with a variety of men – corpulent, hairy, elderly – give Charlotte a fulfilment she cannot find in her one-child marriage with Max. When Max finds out what Charlotte has been up to, she is forced to go to therapy and to stop working as a doctor. The couple starts a new life. But nothing prevents Charlotte from longing for the past, when she gave free reign to her passions. “Belle de Jour [Luis Bunuel, 1967] was one of my inspirations for making this film. I saw it when I was sixteen. It is about a woman and her sexuality. Catherine Deneuve wakes up on the bed and has this very fulfilled look on her face, and tells the maid, “You have no idea”. That was an eye-opener for me, that a woman can say that. I don’t like the idea of telling you what to understand in my films. But I would like you to decide what you see, what happens and what is important,” says Nanouk Leopold.
