Film Synopsis

Dumped by Frédéric, Jézabel is a woman in search of adventure.  Ariel is a man at a loose end who allows himself to be dragged by Jézabel into a night of wild excess, in which every earthly desire must be satisfied to the limit.  Jézabel has the time of her life, but Ariel soon grows tired of this frenetic ramble through the more sordid precincts of Paris...
