What happens

Des journées entières dans les arbres (in English, Entire Days in the Trees) is a 1977 French film directed by Marguerite Duras, based on her novel. Prior to directing a film version of the novel, Duras had already modified it into a stageplay that had enjoyed a theatrical run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
