Summary
Madeleine and Claire are two close friends who live in Paris.
Madeleine runs a well-known fashion house, while Claire lives with her
husband Georges and their two children in an upmarket hotel. On
the day that Madeleine is showing her new fashion collection, Claire
meets a charming young man named Antoine. Within 24 hours, Claire
has a date with Antoine in his apartment and an affair is well
under way. What Claire doesn’t know is that Antoine’s comfortable
lifestyle is being paid for by his other mistress, who happens to be
Madeleine. Likewise, Antoine has no idea that Claire and
Madeleine are acquainted. When she realises that Antoine is
leaving her for Claire, Madeleine decides to host a grand party, to
which she will invite not only Antoine, but also Claire and her
husband...
