Film Synopsis

Thérèse wins 200 thousand francs to spend at a department story.  Her practically  minded in-laws expect that she will claim something useful but instead she comes back with a lynx cape.  A storm of reproach and anger breaks over Thérèse's head and, in the end, she is glad to be rid of the troublesome object.
