Film Synopsis

Pierre, a humble employee in a toy factory, has been married to Anne for just three years, but already he senses they may be drifting apart.  To avoid an acrimonious break-up later on, the couple agree to separate.  Try as he might, Pierre seems to be incapable of starting an affair with another woman, not even with Véronique, one of his colleagues.  At a party given by their friends, Pierre and Anne meet up and settle their differences.  They decide to go on an alpine holiday together but their truce proves shortlived.  As Pierre flirts with Véronique, Anne allows herself to be seduced by a Don Juan type.  Realising that she can love another man, Anne makes up her mind to leave Pierre for good...
