The film stars Marcel Sabourin and Michèle Magny as a husband and wife who are interacting entirely in their bedroom, engaging in conversations about their relationship while the scenery outside their bedroom window provides the only major visual change in setting. The film premiered in July 1969. It was subsequently screened in the Directors' Fortnight program at the 1970 Cannes Film Festival.
