Mort un dimanche de pluie

Elaine Briand and her husband, the architect David Briand, live with their six-year-old daughter Cric Briand in a huge house he designed in the countryside. Elaine and Cric miss their life in Paris since they have no friends, and David is broken since he is waiting a few days to sign with his partner Alain Milles an important contract of a project designed by him. When David is leaving his real estate to work, he meets a lame man without a hand, Cappy Bronsky driving a car pulling a trailer with his wife Hazel Bronsky and their daughter Betty on the exit of his gate. Cappy tells David that he lost his arm an damaged his leg when a building where he was a worker collapsed on him and other workers due to the low quality of the materials. Then he asks for a job as gardener to David and he hires him. Later he meets Elaine's former employer and friend, Christian, who owns a studio, and invites him to visit them. Christian asks Elaine to work with him again, but now she has Cric; however, she asks Hazel if she can take care of her daughter during the day, and she accepts. Soon Cric changes her behavior with her mother that believes she is not adapted to Hazel. Later, when David reads the news on Alain's newspaper, he tells his partner why he hired Cappy and drives home, where secrets are disclosed with tragic conclusion.
