This simple story is set in Moscow. Aumont almost loses Simon, the girl with the roving dark eyes, who gets enmeshed with a middle-aged banker out to seduce her. To meet him, she waits until her governess is asleep, and then joins him in a posh restaurant. He takes her into a private salon
where he wines and dines her and all but gets her clothes off. Simon is rescued by her father who, unknown to her, is the head waiter at the restaurant. Deception is countered by deception, but all is explained and the whole experience is chalked up to growing pains. The boy steps back into the
picture and gets a wiser but sadder girl. (In French; English subtitles.)
