Shadow And Rouge

Angélique, 29 ans, institutrice mariée depuis cinq ans à Richard, croit vivre un mariage solide fondé sur l’amour, la foi et la fidélité. Vierge jusqu’au mariage, elle s’est donnée corps et âme à un seul homme : son mari. Malgré leur complicité apparente, un drame silencieux les ronge — leur incapacité à avoir un enfant. Si Richard se montre patient et réconfortant, la belle-famille d’Angélique ne cache pas son hostilité. Dans cette épreuve, elle s’appuie sur sa meilleure amie Edith, femme vive, séduisante et indépendante. Mais un détail inattendu — une voix, un rire au téléphone — sème le doute dans l’esprit d’Angélique. Peu à peu, elle collecte des indices : un ticket de restaurant pour deux à Yamoussoukro, un comportement étrange, une voiture rouge familière… jusqu’à l’irréfutable vision de Richard dans les bras d’Edith. Effondrée, elle trouve refuge chez sa sœur aînée Béatrice. Mais cette visite prend un tournant inattendu : Béatrice lui révèle que son propre couple repose sur un équilibre tacite de "liberté surveillée", chacun ayant une liaison discrète hors du foyer. Entre trahison, désillusion et tentation, Angélique perd ses repères. Et décide de répliquer. Froide, méthodique, elle envisage une vengeance douce-amère : séduire Eric, le fiancé d’Edith, également trompé. La douce institutrice n’a pas changé… elle s’est révélée.
