When he returns to the casino and seaside resort of his early teens, Louis, a 78 year old man (Serrault) encounters Olivia (Bejo), a 19 year old young woman madly in love with a violent cad. Louis tells the story of his own mother having a passionate, driven fling with his Italian tennis instructor in 1936, and of Marie Collins Brown, the slightly older widowed woman (Jaoui) who helped him through his confusion and pain by recounting the story of her passionate 24 hour fling with a hopeless young Polish gambler in 1913.
