During a party in Paris, Boris, an apprentice director, meets a young woman, Marilyne. The two pretend to be lovers and end up falling in love for real. Five years later, Marilyne, accompanied by Boris and their two children, go to Ibiza on a business trip. While Boris, who is tired of their relationship, thinks of leaving Marilyne, she has an affair. Five more years pass by and Marilyne reappears up in the Pyrenees as the head of a group of American women on a "personal growth" trip. She runs into Boris but, just like the two had pretended to be lovers ten years earlier, this time they pretend they are two strangers.
