Angels Are Amongst Us

1951 · 85 min

A sober, earnest domestic drama of suspicion and estrangement, carried by quiet emotional strain and a child's sorrowful pull toward reconciliation.

Overview
Doctor Rougel is so absorbed in his work that he neglects his wife Nadine, who is subjected to the advances of Gérard Bérault, an admirer. A series of unfortunate events leads the doctor to doubt the fidelity of his wife, and he shamelessly throws her out. Michèle, the Rougels' little daughter, sick from despair, will eventually reunite her estranged parents.
