    The story follows a narrator who meets a family with four intellectually disabled adult children, known as "the idiots," while traveling near Ploumar in Brittany, France. The story explores how the parents married and had their four children, struggling with the social stigma of having useless children who were a burden. This leads to conflict with neighbors and family members criticizing them. Ultimately, the mother Susan kills the father Jean Pierre in a fit of anger with scissors, before herself descending into delirium on the beach where she falls and dies.
