Céline and Ginette Gentilhomme live on the sixth floor of a
building in Montmartre, Paris. Their father, a travelling
salesman, is often away from home. Ginette is the more

other sordid crimes. Ginette is secretly in love with one of her
neighbours, Frédéric Charençon, a decent young
man, but he succumbs to the charms of another woman, a beautiful stage
actress, Irène...
