Outside a nightclub, they meet Maguy, a middle-aged woman who goes out and drinks a lot, is bored, and spends her money freely. She takes the two men into her service at her luxurious villa, where she also provides for Katia, Francis, and Doudou. Maguy’s daughter Hélène, whom she has not seen for years, is part of a game of desire that develops among the four and puts them in danger.
