Albert et Alain Ménard-Lacoste sont frères jumeaux. Le premier, Albert, a réussi sa vie : il est devenu un homme riche et respectable, craint de son entourage et menant une vie infernale à sa famille ; il est pourtant malheureux au fond de lui-même, sans aucunement vouloir le reconnaître. Le second, Alain, a beaucoup voyagé et vit très modestement. Lors d'un entretien entre les deux frères, Alain est brusquement emporté par un infarctus. Albert va alors endosser les habits et la personnalité de son frère, pour essayer de vivre la vie pleine d'aventures que son défunt frère a vécue au travers de nombreuses expériences en Amérique, une vie pleine de romantisme et de femmes, bien loin de l'univers guindé et monotone qu'Albert s'est construit, dans une rigidité d'« honnête homme », rempli de suffisance et de mépris pour ceux qui, comme son frère Alain, ont préféré les tumultes d'une vie incertaine, et pourtant pleine de goût et de souvenirs. Accueilli comme "Alain", l'héritier d'Albert, sa femme, Madeleine, croyant son mari réellement mort et n'agissant que par intérêt, veut épouser son nouveau "beau-frère". Le médecin de famille découvre alors la supercherie, poussant Albert à disparaître sans laisser de traces.

After several unsuccessful attempts to get a job, she finds herself in the streets of Soho. Her eye is caught by poster in the window of a shop called Sexy World: "Hostess wanted." She enters, and Miki (Miki Manojlović), the owner of the shop, explains to her frankly that "hostess" is a euphemism for "whore." The job he has for her is one for which age and being visually attractive are not important: a male customer inserts his penis in a hole in a wall (glory hole), and she, at the other side, gives a handjob (however, the film does not show any penis). Her colleague, Luisa, shows her how to do it, and after the first hesitation, she quickly develops good skills. However, she keeps her work secret from friends and family, which leads to uncomfortable situations. After a while, she tells some friends. They are quite interested and ask various details.
