Synopsis
Bored of her husband and her humdrum life in the country, Albertine is
seriously contemplating a divorce, so she sets out for a short stay in
Paris to mull things over. There, she is greeted by her friend
Cécile, an elegant and refined young woman who is both happily
married and a fully paid up member of the Parisian jet set.
Cécile takes Albertine to a high class party where she
introduces her to several interesting people: Didier Mareze, a young
writer with a lively spirit; the brillant Dr Challenberg and his
wealthy wife Hélène; and Marie-Laure, Cécile’s
snobbish cousin. When Albertine starts an affair with Didier, she
doesn’t yet know that he is only the first untamed lion the city has to
offer her...
