Synopsis 

Dans une jolie maison des Yvelines, au bord d'une rivière, vivent deux femmes. L'une s'adonne aux travaux ménagers et au jardinage, assiste aux leçons de piano des enfants. L'autre, Madame Granger, s'inquiète de l'avenir de sa fille Nathalie, "d'une violence peu commune", a dit la maîtresse. Nathalie acceptera-t-elle d'être pensionnaire et de suivre des cours de musique? Seul un transistor, narrant les méfaits de deux jeunes tueurs, brise le silence qui hante la maison. Un jour, un représentant de commerce pénètre chez les deux femmes et raconte sa jeunesse, ses multiples métiers, ses échecs. Il ne reçoit aucune aide, il repart. Madame Granger décide que Nathalie ne sera pas pensionnaire... peut-être parce qu'elle a peur d'être répressive envers Nathalie, comme la société l'est à l'égard des jeunes.

In a house located in the Yvelines, next to a river, two women live together. One is in charge of housekeeping, gardening and attends the children's piano classes. The other, Mrs Granger, is worried about the future of her daughter Nathalie, who is of 'unmatched violence' according to her teacher. Will Nathalie accept to be a boarder and attend music classes? Only a transistor, narrating the crimes of two your murderers, breaks the silence of the house. One day, a seller visits, explains his life, jobs and failures, but doesn't receive any help. Mrs Granger decides Nathalie won' t be her boarder... maybe because she is scared of being repressive against Nathalie, as society is against the youth.
