A light romantic comedy centered on female friendship and the pursuit of marriage, with warmth and playfulness offsetting modest dramatic stakes.

Sabine vows to give up married lovers, and is determined to find a good husband. Her best friend Clarisse introduces her to her cousin Edmond, a busy lawyer from Paris. Sabine pursues Edmond, with the encouragement of Clarisse, but Edmond does not seem very interested.
