Un uomo, rimasto vedovo della moglie suicida, si aggira per Parigi in preda a una irrefrenabile malinconia, dovuta, oltre che alla perdita della sua compagna, a un passato confuso e alla perdita della giovinezza. L'incontro con una giovanissima ragazza borghese e il loro fulmineo rapporto sessuale cambierà la vita di entrambi. Ma l'uomo sembra imprigionato in una sorta di ossessione erotica, che solo in un primo tempo è condivisa dalla giovane. Quando scemerà l'interesse della ragazza per quel rapporto senza futuro, questa ucciderà il suo amante.
