A witty, socially observant comedy-drama about ambition and manipulation set in Paris, where a shy banker's romantic conquest becomes a vehicle for cynical social climbing.

A shy bank employee unexpectedly invites a young woman to a café, leading to a one-night stand. When he shares this with his disillusioned friend, the writer helps him navigate a dazzling social ascent.
