But the heat is not just meteorological. It is emotional. Paul is a man consumed by jealousy. He suspects Angèle of infidelity, and his love oscillates violently between adoration and accusation. One moment, he declares her a goddess; the next, he accuses her of looking at a waiter the wrong way. Angèle, worn down by his paranoia, begins to flirt with self-destruction.
