Summary
Fashion designer André Noblet is leading a turbulent love
life. His mistress, Christine, whom he is passionately in
love with, has left him to start over again with her husband. He
then meets an attractive young woman, Minouche, and when they hit it
off they decide to go on a winter sports holiday. But things do
not go as planned – André injures his foot and whilst he is
recuperating Minouche goes off with another man. On his return to
Paris, André seduces the older Denise Aubusson, a society woman
who works for a charity foundation. This latest affair ends
badly, thanks to Denise’s protégée, Alice, a reformed
thief with a very jealous temperament...
