Summary - Information:

 A young woman who lives a dull, uneventful life with a boring husband and longs for some warmth and attention, finds another man who can give her what she needs. But one day the two men meet by chance and the husband seems to want to do everything to make the lover like him. Is he really interested in him? Or has the husband discovered his wife’s infidelity? The relationship is poisoned by this state of uncertainty.

With the exception of a short melody composed specially for the film, there isn’t really an original soundtrack, since the two main melodies – Twilight and Sky way – are library music tracks that appeared on the 1976 album Cradle of time - Timing n° 14, 33 RPM De Wolfe Music & In Editions n° DWS/LP 3339.
However, they were rerecorded for the occasion in a solo piano version, which gives them an original character.

It is worth noting that the Sky way track had already been reorchestrated for the album Cradle of time - Timing n° 14. The original version (recorded in 1965) was one of many tracks available only on audio tape.
