Cuando Emile Maugin, un célebre actor veterano, descubre que un problema cardíaco amenaza seriamente su salud, decide reflexionar sobre su vida. Soberbio, brusco y cínico, aunque en el fondo generoso, reina como un tirano sobre el pequeño grupo de devotos súbditos que lo rodean, incluida Alice, su jovencísima segunda esposa. El miedo a la muerte, sin embargo, se cierne irremediablemente sobre él y lo lleva a soñar con hacer realidad una antigua aspiración de su primera mujer: vivir en una casa con postigos verdes, símbolo del éxito material pero también de la apacible seguridad que siempre lo ha eludido. ¿Será capaz de reconocer la felicidad a su alcance antes de que sea demasiado tarde?

When Emile Maugin, a famous veteran actor, discovers that a heart problem seriously threatens his health, he decides to reflect on his life. Arrogant, brusque, and cynical, yet at heart generous, he reigns as a tyrant over the small group of devoted subjects who surround him, including Alice, his very young second wife. The fear of death, however, looms over him inevitably and leads him to dream of making an old aspiration of his first wife come true: to live in a house with green shutters, a symbol of material success but also of the peaceful security that always exists. Will he be able to recognize the happiness within his reach before it's too late?
