A morally ambiguous portrait of corruption and desire in 1950s Paris, where a provincial innocent is seduced by bohemian excess and romantic entanglement.
Young provincial Charles arrives in Paris to stay with his cousin Paul while studying law. Paul is a decadent, bohemian pleasure-seeker who shows the meek, diligent Charles the thrills of city life. When Charles falls for Florence, one of Paul's acquaintances, relationships begin to shift.
