The aviator Christian (Mathieu Carrière) visits his ex-mistress Anne (Marie Rivière) in the morning, to tell her that their affair is over, because his wife is pregnant and will soon move to Paris. Anne’s new lover, François (Phillipe Marlaud), happens to see Christian and Anne when they leave her house, and thinks that their affair still continues. He tries to ask Anne for the truth, but she doesn’t talk to him. At a café François sees Christian and an unknown blonde woman (Haydée Caillot). As he is in a bad mood and doesn’t know what to do, he decides to follow the couple.
