Les bien-aimés / The BelovedSummary
This story with a strong musical component takes place over the course of forty years. In the 1960s the newlywed Madeleine and her Czech husband Jaromil leave Paris and settle down in Prague. At the time the Soviet tanks enter Czechoslovakia, Madeleine leaves her husband, who’s been unfaithful, and returns with her young daughter Véra to France, where she later remarries. In the 1970s, Jaromil unexpectedly appears in Paris and the former married couple realise that their relationship has not completely dried up and meet occasionally in a hotel. One day Madeleine waits for Jaromil, who collapses on the pavement and dies in a hospital. Véra is unhappy in her love life and ends up committing suicide. And Madeleine ponders whether it is better to love or be loved.
