A lighthearted 1970s French comedy about a married man's infatuation with a mysterious woman, driven by male friendship, romantic pursuit, and the bumbling schemes of his unfaithful friends.
On an otherwise normal day, Étienne, a happily married man and a good father, sees something that stops him dead in his tracks: a gorgeous woman in a billowing red dress. Long after she has left his vision, her memory continues to haunt his mind. He falls instantly in love with her and tries everything to get to know her better.
