Synopsis
Madeleine and Claire are two close friends who live in Paris.  Madeleine runs a well-known fashion house, while Claire lives with her husband Georges and their two children in an upmarket hotel.  On the day that Madeleine is showing her new fashion collection, Claire meets a charming young man named Antoine.  Within 24 hours, Claire has a date with Antoine in his apartment and an affair is well under way.  What Claire doesn’t know is that Antoine’s comfortable lifestyle is being paid for by his other mistress, who happens to be Madeleine.  Likewise, Antoine has no idea that Claire and Madeleine are acquainted.  When she realises that Antoine is leaving her for Claire, Madeleine decides to host a grand party, to which she will invite not only Antoine, but also Claire and her husband...
