Geneviève marries Robert because he shows her great respect.  But when she discovers the nature of physical love on her honeymoon, she is so disgusted that she resolves to avoid any physical contact... Christine is engaged to Xavier, an idiotic nobleman.  She convinces him that, to advance her career, she gave herself to her employer.  In fact, she had spent the night with a painter with whom she had fallen in love.  Sophie loves and is loved by Mickey, a young plumber.  Together, they look for a place where they can play the games of love, but in vain... Nora is in love with her manager, Berthet, a forty year-old married man.  Berthet loves her too but he refuses to consummate his love until he is divorced.  Nora thinks that her virginity is the problem, so she allows a colleague to lure her into bed.  When Berthet hears about this he decides to leave her...
