The story unfolds in the midst of art-student easy Montreal. Francis, 20 years old, and Marie, a little older, are two very close friends. At a small dinner with Francis, they both fall for the same boy, Nicolas. Each of the two friends manifest interest towards Nicolas and tries to seduce him. Nicolas, playing the seduction ambiguous with respect to both, shows no real preference. A strange love triangle is formed.

Shortly afterwards, Nicolas invites Marie to his birthday party, but also sends an invitation to Francis;soon Francis and Mary compete to find the generous gift that will go straight to Nicolas' heart. At the party Nicolas turns to his two suitors who are each on their own confidence in their chances. They spend the night together platonically in the same bed.

Nicolas offers them to extend the festival by visiting his aunt's cottage on the shores of St. Lawrence. However, during this stay in the country, nothing will happen as all three hope. In the aftermath of an evening around a fire, Marie found the cottage deserted: Nicolas and Francis left, without waking her, play and walk by the riverside. Jealous, she pack her bags and leaves, not without causing a fight between her and Francis. The trio then explodes in rage.

A year later, the two friends reunited, are at a party when Nicolas is back from China. Marie and Francis stiffen and gaze with disdain supported the object of their past ills. Nicolas sees them in turn and comes to greet them: he is violently rejected.
