Synopsis : Set in a French bourgeois province in 1977, the film centres on
Suzanne, the submissive wife of rich industrialist Robert Pujol who runs his
umbrella factory with an iron fist. After the workers go on strike and hold
Robert captive, Suzanne ends up managing the factory instead of her husband,
who is disowned by the staff. Distressed and in poor health, Robert goes away
for a while and, to the surprise of most, Suzanne proves to be an assertive
woman of action. With the help of the communist deputy she puts an end to the
strike, gets the factory running again and improves the employees' working
conditions. But when Robert returns from his trip in good health, the situation
gets complicated.
