Their carefree existence is threatened when Raymond decides to marry Anne, a serious and intelligent woman who tries to impose discipline and moral values on their lives. Cécile, resentful of this intrusion, plots to sabotage the marriage, which triggers tragic consequences. The novel explores themes such as freedom, responsibility, love, and the pursuit of happiness, with an elegant narrative style and deep psychological introspection.
