Jerome is an engaged diplomat who decides to spend his last vacation as a single man in the Alps. There he meets an old acquaintance, Aurora, an Italian writer.

At first Jerome flirts with Laura, but soon his attention turns to her half sister Claire. More precisely, her knee becomes his obsession.
