Plot summary
Marianne is an actress, married to Markus, an orchestra conductor, and they have a young daughter, Isabelle. David, the person she is closest to, is trying to raise money for a film of his own. While Markus is traveling, David comes to her home and asks if the two of them might sleep together. Marianne tells him she thinks of him as a brother, and they settle on sharing a bed in nightwear with nothing sexual. Each has a separate project in Paris, and Markus knows about both trips; Marianne reasons that they could see each other there openly. Once in Paris, the affair begins. When David asks about her past lovers, her account, largely of Markus, sets off a violent jealousy.
