The 20s. In a seaside resort where everybody is bored, Albert Marvuglia, a slightly shabby conjurer, makes Marta, the wife of the wealthy bourgeois Charles Moufflet, disappear, who takes advantage of this tour to escape for good.

A young woman begins a new life at the Apollonide bordello, a high-class brothel in Paris at the turn of the 20th century.
