Summary
Alain is a flashy, opportunistic young man who prides himself on the
ease with which he can lure beautiful women into bed. Sylvie is
an easy conquest. Although she is outgoing and confident, she has
never had a lover before and so she offers no resistance when Alain
works his seductive charms on her. For her, it is the beginning
of an idyllic love story. For him, it is something much less
significant. Whilst she and Alain are living together in Paris,
Sylvie is blissfully unaware that her beau idéal is seeing
another woman, an Iranian princess...
