Chiffon, a young lady from a respectable aristocratic family, finds herself torn between the man she loves – her impecunious uncle – and the man her mother has selected for her - a well-connected military man. Will she be lucky in love?

This delightful comedy brought Claude Autant-Lara his first popular success as a director.

The movie prefigures Autant-Lara's masterpiece, Douce (1943), in its sumptuous visuals, sparkling repartee, and veiled social criticism; Jean Aurenche wrote the fluid, witty script, radically reworking a novel that he reportedly despised.
