When his wife leaves him, a young French actor, François Combe, moves to New York to work for a television company. One night at a bar he meets an attractive young woman named Kay Larsi. She's as lost and unhappy as he is, let alone alone, since her friend and roommate Jessie moved out of the apartment. A romance develops between the two and their meeting will have developments.
*Annie Girardot won the Best Actress Award at the Venice Film Festival in 1965. At the same festival, the film was nominated for the Golden Lion. In addition, in a small appearance, we see Robert De Niro for the first time on the big screen.
