While he earns money as a well-paid trade fair builder, she hopes to have offspring soon. The well-ordered molecules of their picture book marriage are thrown into chaos by a chance acquaintance. The reason for this is Serge, who runs a creperie in the trendy district. He flirts with Jackie in an outrageously sexy way. The easy-going Breton has something daring that her "man for life" lacks.

However, Jackie is still hesitant to get involved with Serge's sensuality, which is no longer just for her. But Martin is not yet ready to engage in a ménage à trois without taboos.
