Maverick director Melvin Van Peebles translates his own satirical novel to the screen with this multi-national portrait of race, class, and hypocrisy. The film's title refers to the name of a haute cuisine restaurant run by a self-satisfied conservative couple, Henri and Loretta. When the two find themselves overworked in the kitchen, they retreat to the local orphanage to find some cheap waitressing help, and the teenaged Diamantine fits the bill perfectly. The haughty couple has more plans for the girl than just waiting tables, however -- the conspicuously accommodating Henri and Loretta are actually bad-mouthing the girl behind her back to the townspeople and the restaurant's patrons. They go so far as to ask the naive Diamantine to pretend that she's pregnant, and she complies under the assumption that it's a harmless prank. When their intentions are revealed, however, the girl becomes wise to the couple's self-satisfied scheming, and sets her sights on revenge.

앙트완은 12살의 소년. 그에게는 남들이 모르는 즐거움이 있는데 그것은 바로 매혹적인 셰퍼부인이 운영하는 이발소에 가는 일이다. 그녀의 향기와 말투에 반한 앙트완은 머리카락이 길어지기가 무섭게 그녀에게 달려가곤 했다. 어느 날, 저녁 식사도중 아버지가 앙트완에게 진로에 대해 묻자 그는 서슴없이 미용사의 남편이 되겠다고 말한다. 그로부터 40년 후, 미용사의 남편이 될 꿈을 간직한 채 살아가던 앙트완은 우연히 마틸드를 만나게 된다. 그녀는 주인이 은퇴하면서 물려준 이발소의 주인이었고 아주 매력적인 여성이었다. '신념이 있다면 무엇이든지 할 수 있다'는 아버지의 말씀을 되뇌이며 앙트완은 그녀에게 끈질기게 청혼했고, 우여곡절 끝에 결국 그녀는 승낙한다. 미용사의 남편이 되겠다고 하자 아버지는 심장마비로 돌아가셨고 어머니는 앙트완과 인연을 끊겠다고 선언한다. 그러나 앙트완에게 그런것은 안중에도 없었다. 그렇게 결혼한 둘은 십년 동안 단 한차례 사소한 일로 다투었을 뿐 서로를 극진히 사랑하며 함께 살아간다. (그 한차례 다툼도 앙트완에겐 심장마비를 일으킬 수 있을 정도의 큰 사건이었다.) 그러던 어느 폭풍우가 몰아치던 날 둘은 사랑을 나누었고, 마틸드는 폭풍우 속으로 사라진 후 다시는 돌아오지 않았다. 그것이 앙트완이 마틸드를 본 마지막이었던 것이다. 오직 한통의 편지만 남긴 채. '사랑하는 이여, 먼저 떠납니다. 사랑을 남기고 가려구요. 아니 불행이 오기전에 떠나렵니다. 우리의 숨결과 당신의 체취, 모습, 입맞춤까지 당신이 선물한 내 인생의 절정에서 떠납니다. 언제나 당신만을 사랑했습니다. 당신이 날 잊지 못하도록 지금 떠납니다'
