Summary
Catherine is an attractive young woman who lives in the country with
her two aunts. One day, she is discovered by Judith Aurigault and
her partner Michel, the owners of a popular woman’s magazine based in
Paris. They offer Catherine the opportunity to become a cover
girl and she accepts without hesitation. Judith and Michel plan
to build a spectacular romantic story around Catherine, now known as
Chouchou. Their idea is to stage a marriage between her and a
cover boy named Patrice. But when Patrice is taken ill on the day
of the fake marriage it looks as if all the publicity will be
wasted. Michel takes advantage of the situation and
replaces Patrice in the wedding. He does so not out of duty to
his magazine but because he is really in love with Catherine and would
like to end his affair with Judith...
