English title: Françoise Steps Out
A woman finds out about her husband's infidelity and leaves home, setting up a new home at a modest apartment in a building with some other interesting lodgers.
This is possibly a seminal film for a genre that has become very popular, especially from the 1970s onwards, having as protagonist a cheated-on woman who after separation acquires a new outlook on life. While this is a genre that has steadily radicalized itself towards hatred of the male sex, this is not the case in question here, as this early item is very circumspect and would be deemed conservative by modern-day feminists. Anyway, it is not an especially inspired film, struggling as it does in its middle section to find incidents to fill the void between separation and reconciliation. But the acting is good, and the mood is light and agreeable.
