One day, during a work appointment at someone’s home, she meets Bill, an African-American dancer visiting Paris. After a third meeting, the two begin a passionate, uninhibited affair that is exclusively physical, with no emotional involvement. Swept up in her passion, Marie begins to lose interest in her work and neglects her husband and their two-year-old son. When Francois discovers the affair, he leaves his wife. Some time later, Marie and her ex-husband meet at a party and, despite the adultery having wrecked their marriage, realize they still love each other.
