Description of this Poster My Night at Maud’s
Jean-Louis, a solitary and serious engineer, has taken a job in Clermont-Ferrand where he knows no one. Attending a Catholic church, he sees a young blonde woman and, without knowing anything about her, is convinced that she will become his wife. At the café, he meets Vidal, a former Marxist friend who has become a university professor, who invites him to a concert that same evening. Jean-Louis is reluctant at first, but finally agrees to go. After the concert, they have dinner at a restaurant. Vidal plans to visit a friend the next evening and invites Jean-Louis to accompany him. But Jean-Louis plans to go to mass. They agree to go to mass together, as Vidal’s friend won’t be available until after midnight.
They arrive at the apartment of Maud, a recently divorced pediatrician. The three of them talk and drink, until Maud suggests that the snowfall has made the drive to Jean-Louis’s mountain village dangerous and that he should stay. Vidal, who had hoped to stay, leaves. Maud and Jean-Louis discuss religion and their love lives. She makes herself comfortable in the large bed in the living room and reveals that she divorced her husband because he was having an affair with a Catholic woman, while she herself had a lover who died in a car accident a year ago. When it’s time to sleep, she declares that the bed she’s in is the only bed. She strips naked and invites Jean-Louis to join her under the covers. He eventually does so, keeping his clothes on. In the morning, he resists her advances to make love. Initially hurt, Maud recovers from this refusal and invites him to join her later for a walk in the snow with friends.
Just before meeting Maud’s friends, he sees the blonde girl from church and, encouraged in his relationships with women by his night with Maud, he boldly introduces himself. Her name is Françoise and she agrees to meet him at the church. During the walk with Maud, he is much more direct with her, to the point that she has to hold him back. After the walk, Jean-Louis tries his luck at the place where he met Françoise, and she turns out to be there, about to go home. He offers her a ride and learns that she has a degree in biology. He returns with her to her student house and, after tea, is able to spend the night in a separate room. In the morning, before they go to church, she refuses to kiss him. After the service, she admits that the cloud separating them is due to the fact that she had an affair with a married man. Five years later, while they are married and on a beach with their child, they meet Maud. She says she has remarried, but it hasn’t been a success. Jean-Louis then confesses to Françoise that he got out of Maud’s bed the morning he first met her, but doesn’t elaborate on what really happened. He then understands that his wife’s lover was Maud’s husband. Since they are both now happy, they decide not to discuss the subject again. Instead, they go swimming with their child.
