Estelle’s husband is an older man who marries her shortly after both her parents die. Estelle agrees to enter into this marriage because her husband is rich and she needs to care for her younger brother. After six years, though, she starts seeing Roger. When she secretly gives birth to Roger’s child in Switzerland and subsequently murders the child, she returns to Paris, where Roger commits suicide. Despite all this, Estelle’s husband never suspects anything.
