When she goes back to the beach where he disappeared, she sees him in the distance and runs toward him. They found a watch as well: she denies that it his. She insists on seeing the body and reacts with horror. The body, however, has spent so much time under water that it is putrefied and cannot be easily identified a genetic test shows 90% correspondence with his mother, and the dental records seem to match as well. She is told he probably drowned while struggling with the undertow. Finally, she goes to Landes to meet with the local officials. When visiting Jean's mother, who lives in a nursing home, she tells her that Jean may have killed himself her mother in law rejects that, and says he probably left her because he was bored with her, and because, she says, she could not give him children.

Her friends are worried about her mental health, and when her lover offers her his help, she says he can't measure up to Jean, and rejects him. Marie begins an affair, even while she denies her husband's death, though she receives a call from the Landes police, saying a body had been found in a fisherman's net. Marie does not accept his death, and he keeps appearing to her after her return to Paris.

At the beach, he goes for a swim while she reads, and he never returns. They vacation in the Landes, where his family has a house.
