The action takes place in a quarry where men sweat under a blistering sun (104°F in the shade!). 41 year old man marries a gorgeous girl Marthe who is much younger than he is .That gal was once some kind of a hooker,but she's his best friend's daughter and besides she's so lovely.The bride,recalling Flaubert's Madame Bovary cannot stand the vulgarity and the crudeness of people around her. In the house ,there are also the man's folks.Old people and old pieces of furniture .While falling in love with a young man who works on a boat near the career,Marthe urges her hubby to get rid of the old tables,cupboards and to replace them with Formica ones. Next step is getting rid of the in-laws.She does not appear when they celebrate their golden wedding .Soon they feel like intruders ,they too are old pieces of furniture and they ask their beloved son to take them to an old people's home .
