Synopsis

Drama. Young Marguerite is a lonely teenager who does not appear to fit in either at home or at school, and begins to wonder whether she would be best off in a convent. In another story, an older woman, Claire, is tired of marriage after ten years and embarks on a fling or two on a trip to Paris. A third tale concerns Jacques, whose wife has left him. When he meets a mysterious woman named Eva, Jacques decides to pose as a detective and attempts to track down her missing friend.
