Paul is a stage actor who, having broken up with his mistress Ulrika, returns to live with his pregnant wife Fanchon and their son Pierre. His best friend is Marcus. a writer who believes he is being forbidden from writing, so inflammatory is his work.

Having grown disillusioned with family life, Paul finds it too easy to drift away and spend the night with his mistress. By the time he gets back home, Paul has made up his mind to leave his wife. He packs his suitcases, ignoring the protestations of his son. He then accompanies his friend to Italy where Marcus hopes to find Hélène...© James Travers
