The death of Vincent, the director of one of the prestigious jewelry shop on chic Place Vendôme, leaves his wife, Marrianne, at a terrible crossroads in her life. Her life has been marked by sadness. Though she does retain 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.
