Film Synopsis

Alain is a flashy, opportunistic young man who prides himself on the ease with which he can lure beautiful women into bed.  Sylvie is an easy conquest.  Although she is outgoing and confident, she has never had a lover before and so she offers no resistance when Alain works his seductive charms on her.  For her, it is the beginning of an idyllic love story.  For him, it is something much less significant.  Whilst she and Alain are living together in Paris, Sylvie is blissfully unaware that her beau idéal  is seeing another woman, an Iranian princess...
