In the present day Paris, Dominique lives the life of a well-off single woman. Her life is tinged with a natural elegance reinforced by her job in a big "Maison de Couture". When Dominique meets Quentin in a bar frequented by homosexuals and transvestites, the young man's perfect beauty confuses her. The promise of a hoped-for but unexpected love shatters her. She makes him leave his job, provides for his needs and installs him in her flat. (Pyramide Distribution)
