Story
In Paris, Alexandre, an unemployed young man with memories of the May 1968 events in France, attempts to persuade his former lover Gilberte to marry him but she refuses. Alexandre lives with his girlfriend Marie and has casual relationships. He meets Veronika, a promiscuous Polish French nurse, at Les Deux Magots café after failing to reconcile with Gilberte. Back at Alexandre's apartment, Marie lets Veronika in while they are nude in bed. Veronika insults them but also admits she is not pure herself. The three begin a ménage à trois, with Veronika assuring both Alexandre and Marie of her love for him. Despite Marie initially expressing indifference to Alexandre's affairs, she grows distant as his relationship with Veronika deepens. As the trio sits together, Veronika tries to reassure Marie about her appearance and expresses her beliefs that no women are truly whores and love is meaningless without producing a child.
