Irène is an actress who travels around the small towns of France, bringing her one-woman show to venues off the beaten track. As part of the performance, she chooses one man out of the audience each night and includes him in the act. When her car breaks down, a stranger named Dries lends a hand, and she thanks him with tickets for that night's show. She selects Dries to bring onstage — and then, despite having a loving family at home, begins an affair with him.
