Plot



Clment, a teacher in a primary school, is divorced and on his own. He shares his worries with his headmaster Thomas, whose wife has left him. In the evenings Clment likes to go to the theatre, and in particular to plays featuring Alicia. Her regal beauty and rare acting ability can reduce him to secret tears, which are noticed by the girl in the next seat, She is Caprice, a cheerful would-be actress who also delivers pizzas.

Thomas gets a request for a sympathetic teacher to tutor a youngster, and offers the job to Clment. It is for Alicia's nephew, who is staying in the elegant house where she lives alone. She comes to appreciate his shy charm and strong rapport with children, while he is already in love with her from her stage performances. Things end with Clment moving in.

Going out for drinks with the lonely Thomas, he and Thomas are chatted up by two girls, who turn out to be Caprice and her flatmate. Things end with Clment leaving Caprice's bed at dawn to sneak back into Alicia's. He is seen by the servant who, to Alicia's alarm, leaves. Clment then admits his lapse and is banished to the spare room. Out drinking with theatre friends, Alicia sees Thomas and, when the bars shut, things end with her taking him into the theatre to raid the manager's drinks cupboard. Both conceal their night together from Clment.

Unwilling to accept that Clment can shut her out of his life after one tender night, Caprice keeps finding reasons to contact him. While Alicia is away on a long tour, he breaks a leg in an accident and Caprice looks after him, despite him refusing to be unfaithful again. When he tells her firmly that he is not going to see her any more, she takes an overdose. Going to the hospital, Clment finds that she has a male friend who will look after her.

Back in Alicia's favour, she takes up a play that he started and Caprice improved, which proves to be a success. The prominent actress and the upcoming playwright lead a brilliant life, and Thomas' wife comes back to him. Nobody knows what's happened to Caprice.
