Jeanne Tournier (Jeanne Moreau) has it all, thanks to her marriage to wealthy press magnate Henri (Alain Cuny). However, all the wealth in the world can’t keep Jeanne from being bored, so she turns to polo player Raoul (Josй Luis de Villalonga) to fulfill her sexual needs. Disguised as visits to her friend, Maggy (Judith Magre), Jeanne’s trips to Paris become more frequent, arousing the suspicions of Henri. One weekend, Henri calls Jeanne back from Paris, unexpectedly, but she has no idea that he has also invited Maggy and Raoul to the estate. On her way back, the car breaks down and Jeanne is picked up by Bernard (Jean-Marc Bory), a young archaeologist who drives her back home and is asked to stay for his troubles. While initially shocked at the presence of Maggy and Raoul, it isn’t long before Jeanne realizes that true love is finally staring her in the face.
