The film is well-done but I have issues with the script. Anyway, the plot unfolds when an older successful famous author, Charles Saint Denis, meets a weather girl at the Lyon TV station. He's married to a saint Dona and lives in the country most of the time. He also has an apartment in town. He is smitten by the blonde young weather girl, Gabrielle. Her mother is a book seller with a shop in town and they meet again. Still, he's taken with her and his wife's away so he'll play. Poor Gabrielle, she's stuck in the middle. She is in a dead end romance with the married author and courted by Paul Gaudens, a drunken party animal and heir to the Gaudens family fortune. His father was a successful chemist and his mother is the socialite. Paul has secrets in his past that his family have fought to protect him from. Anyway, this film is about Gabrielle's relationship with both men. The ending isn't one that I see coming and takes the film into another direction. I think Gabrielle was playing with fire with both men. Charles was married to Dona and Paul was unstable. Gabrielle wanted happiness and love but was used and mistreated.
