This sequel in the Plouffe family saga takes us to Québec in the early 1950s. Ovide finds it hard to keep up with a rapidly changing world. He has married the tantalizing Rita Toulouse, who has not been tempered by marriage. She is so busy pleasing men that she neglects her daughter. Ovide has become a watch salesman, and is rarely home. Rita becomes bored at the jewellery store that she owns with one of Ovide’s associates. Ovide is disappointed in his marriage and begins to think about Marie, a young French woman he met. The couple is on the verge of splitting up. Ovide’s mother intervenes, suggesting that the couple go away on a trip. Rita ends up going on the trip alone, and disaster strikes. Someone planted a bomb on her plane and it explodes. Ovide is a suspect. Is he guilty? (Also available in six 52-minute episodes made for television.) (The first four hours of the television mini-series were directed by Gilles Carle.)
