Faute de soleil

Blinded for years by an accident, Jean finds comfort in drinking. He lives with his brother Charles, who looks after him. Both work for Minot, the manager of a travelling striptease show. One night, a wasted girl called Lucie makes her first appearance as a stripper for the troupe. She then spends the night with Jean, sparking off a relationship that will exist and live on in spite of Jean’s self-destructive fits.
