The Sunday of Life
1967 · Movie · 100 min. · France
A still attractive lady (Danielle Darrieux in her strangest part) realizes that time is passing her by and she wants to marry a young virgin, who has been in the army for five years but has remained a private. After a honeymoon in Brugges (or is it in Paris? in a tourist agency?) he spent alone, he ends up in a cemetery where he meets an old lady who's just buried her husband Clodomir; he inherits an "all framing undertaken" shop; his wife discovers she is clairvoyant and she becomes "Madame Saphir" a fortune teller whose customers want to know the "present"; in the meanwhile, their brother-in-law, who owns an arms factory rubs his hands: rumors of war spread all over the country; but a former sergeant of the young framer tells him that "war is impossible now"...
