A sophisticated romantic drama about transgression and desire within an unconventional marriage, where breaking the rules of emotional detachment leads to jealousy, betrayal, and moral reckoning.

Juliette de Merteuil and Vicomte de Valmont are a sophisticated couple, always looking for fun and excitement. Both have sexual affairs with others and share their experiences with one another. But when Valmont meets the beautiful young Marianne at a ski resort, he breaks the one rule of his unconventional marriage: never fall in love.
