It stars Miou-Miou, Maria Schneider and Niels Arestrup.

Marie is 19 and is bored in her little suburban life with no future.

In a café, she meets Gérard, who is handsome, brown-haired, showy and smooth-talking, and has no trouble seducing her.

Blinded by love and too susceptible, Mary decides to leave her parents and her job as a clerk to live with the man she considers as the love of her life.

First in a brothel, then in the street or in the Bois de Boulogne, the young woman gradually discovers a world of decay and violence.
