Sinon, oui

Quinzaine 1997 | Feature film | 1 h 55

It’s the story of a woman who accidentally leads her husband to believe she’s pregnant. He doesn’t want the child but she refuses to have an abortion (since she’s not pregnant). Gradually, the “fact” of this pregnancy keeps the husband from leaving her, provides comfort to her seriously ill father and delights her entourage. Day after day, the fabrication becomes increasingly present and nothing seems to able to stop it.
