The story

Set in a remote and oppressive French colonial outpost in Cochinchina (then part of French Indochina), the story centers on Victor Duval, an ambitious young magistrate serving as a substitute judge in what feels like a true exile. He lives with his devoted and strikingly beautiful wife, Helene, who despairs over the lack of distraction and the couple’s stagnant life. Victor has rendered relevant services but waits in vain for a promotion that would transfer him to a less troubled and boring place.
