Summary
Quantin lives with his family in a village near the Swiss border.
He is increasingly anxious that he has received no news from his eldest
daughter, Marie-Louise, who went to Lyons to find work as a
hairdresser. At his wife’s insistence, Quantin leaves for the
city, accompanied by Frédéric, Marie-Louise’s
fiancé. Arriving in Lyons, Quantin and
Frédéric are surprised when they learn that she no longer
works at the hairdressing salon. They are told that Marie-Louise
is now working at the Trianon, a beauty salon for men. According
to the Trianon’s manager, Marie-Louise is involved in the prostitution
racket. Devastated, Quantin and Frédéric resolve to
find Marie-Louise and bring her back home, if it is not already to
late...
