in a disco with her husband andré, a cultured man who owns a small advertising agency in which she works, nelly meets loulou, who is just out of jail and drunk. she spends the night with him in a hotel. next day andré orders her out of his spacious apartment, so she moves into a hotel room with loulou, who she supports as he does not believe in work. when she becomes pregnant, she rents a small apartment for them which loulou fills with his criminal friends, who one night take her on a burglary. her well-off brother tries to get her to see sense, but she just wants loulou and their forthcoming child. when loulou and his gang take her to sunday lunch with his mother, there is a frightening confrontation with his psychotic brother-in-law who starts firing a shotgun. realising at last the impossibility of having the child in such an environment, nelly has an abortion. loulou is hurt, but the film ends as it began with the two staggering home drunk.
