Fernando Rey is a 60 years old wealthy frenchman who explains in the Sevilla-Paris train the story of his relationship with Conchita, the woman he has just left, to his fellow companions. She was his newly engaged maid when he first met her. Sexually attracted by her, he is soon obsessed by this young woman, played by two different actresses, who always rejects him after having him given some hope.

A little pearl.
