Place Vendôme
The death of Vincent Malivert, director of one of the most prestigious jewelry shops on Place Vendôme, leaves his wife at a terrible crossroads in her life. Industrious and ambitious, Marianne was once a great broker herself. She loved a man, Battistelli, who was unfaithful to her. Ever since, her life has been marked by sadness. Thought she retains some of her grace and elegance, Marianne lives in a boozy stupor most of the time until the day she discovers seven magnificent diamonds stashed away in her husband's hidden chest. Their beauty slowly awakens her passion.
