Three French actors in Rio De Janeiro find romance and make decisions about their futures.

Actors Guillaume (Jean Rochefort), Adrien (Jacques Jouanneau) and Maxime (Julien Guiomar) are part of a French acting troupe on a Brazilian tour, performing Dom Juan and other Molière plays. Guillaume is a womanizer and becomes fascinated by translator Isabel (Isabel Jardim) when signing autographs after a performance. She invites the trio to a party hosted by Isabel's father, a prominent architect, and makes her feelings for Guillaume plain. While the party goes on, Isabel's twin sister Cristina (Cristina Jardim) is upstairs, unable to join in the reception due to a nervous illness that has robbed her of the use of her legs. Nevertheless, Guillaume meets her by chance and immediately falls in love with her. As the tour moves on to Brasília and São Paulo, he phones Cristina every day. Isabel discovers their blooming relationship and is torn between jealousy over her own feelings for Guillaume and her desire to see her sister happy, especially as the romance has seen Cristina recover and regain her mobility. The tour comes to a close and Guillaume pleads for Cristina to join him when he returns to France. She is unable to contemplate leaving her sister. Eventually, Guillaume instead decides to stay in Brazil, bidding farewell to Adrien, Maxime and the rest of the company.
