action
Evelyne, well married to the Bern prosecutor Laurent Bertal, would be very happy if her husband did not always neglect her for his work. During a stay in Italy on the shores of Lake Como , Evelyne and her friend Elena Rémy Marsay meet a moody and playful young man who seduces them. Her husband Laurent suspects something and asks Elena, who only speaks of a simple harmless flirtation. However, the tension eases with the couple. Rémy, for his part, tells his lover Marion about his conquest. She urges him to ask Evelyne to follow him to Paris because she is sure it will only be a short-lived adventure. Reluctantly at first, Evelyne arrives in Paris while her husband Laurent thinks she is with Elena in the country. Having arrived in the capital anyway, she realizes her boldness and deliberately turns back. But after spending a dreamy day visiting Paris with Rémy, she becomes his mistress and it's a different life for her ... Rémy suddenly realizes that he is in love with her and asks her to leave Laurent. Evelyne wishes and wants to talk to her husband, determined to get her freedom. But this love story without a future, this “glass lock” will break. The temporary farewell drags on, Evelyne misses her train, takes a plane that will never arrive at its destination. She dies in the accident at takeoff. Laurent finally understands that Elena, the “family friend”, has hidden Evelyne's escape from him: the two women he cared about cheated on him.
