In 1919, in a small town under the crushing heat of summer, a war hero is held prisoner in an abandoned barracks. Outside, his mangy dog barks night and day. Not far off in the countryside, an extraordinarily intelligent young woman works the land, waiting and hoping. A judge whose principles have been sorely shaken by the war is coming to sort out this case of which it is better not to speak.
Véronique Nordey (15 June 1939 – 29 November 2017) was a French actress. Her son, Stanislas Nordey, is the director of the Théâtre national de Strasbourg. She trained under Tania Balachova, and made her first film, Sorcières de Salem, directed by Raymond Rouleau, as a teenager. She married the director Jean-Pierre Mocky, and they made several films together, but divorced after fourteen years. Their son Stanislas was born in 1966. After her son's birth, Nordey did not appear again in films until 2004, though she did continue her stage career after a break, and appeared on television a few times during the 1970s. When Stanislas had become a well-known director, she appeared in several of his productions. Nordey was born in Paris and died in Lyon, aged 78, of cancer.
