Wenn ein großer Intellektueller wie Walter Benjamin über das frühe Werk eines 27-jährigen Schriftstellers sagt, er habe eines der "allerbesten Bücher des Jahrhunderts" verfasst, muss das schon etwas heißen: In einer kleinen Villa in der französischen Provinz wächst Adrienne Mesurat mit ihrer todkranken Schwester bei ihrem herrischen Vater auf. Ihr Alltag ist minutiös getaktet, kleinste Regelverstöße werden vom Vater unerbittlich geahndet. Eines Nachts stößt sie ihn von der Treppe in den Tod.
