Phil a seize ans et Vinca quinze. Ils passent, comme chaque année, leurs vacances sur une plage bretonne, dans une maison que partagent leurs familles respectives. Ils sont comme frère et sœur mais cet été leur relation devient autre chose, sans qu'ils en aient encore vraiment conscience. Cependant, Phil fait la connaissance de l'élégante M Dalleray, trente ans de plus que lui et passant les vacances seule sur la côte où elle a une maison. Elle invite le tout jeune homme à y entrer un moment, elle l'incite ensuite à y revenir. On la voit attendrie, émue par la fraîcheur charmante de ce jeune homme en fleur. Phil, flatté par l'attention de cette femme belle et raffinée mais qui a l'âge de sa mère, se laisse séduire et lui rend bientôt en cachette des visites nocturnes... que Vinca ne tarde pas à découvrir et à lui reprocher.

The King (Jean Marais) promises his dying Queen that after her death he will only marry a woman as beautiful and virtuous as she. Pressed by his advisers to remarry and produce an heir, he comes to the conclusion that the only way to fulfil his promise is to marry his own daughter, the Princess (Catherine Deneuve). Following the advice of her godmother, the Lilac Fairy (Delphine Seyrig), the Princess demands a series of seemingly impossible nuptial gifts, in the hope that her father will be forced to give up his plans of marriage. However, the King succeeds in providing her with dresses the colour of the weather, of the moon and of the sun, and finally with the skin of a magic donkey that excretes jewels, the source of his kingdom's wealth. Donning the donkey skin, the Princess flees her father's kingdom to avoid the incestuous marriage.

Louise (Danielle Darrieux) is an aristocratic woman of Belle Époque Paris, married to André (Charles Boyer), both a count and a high-ranking French army general. Louise is a beautiful, but spoiled and superficial, woman who has amassed debts due to her lifestyle. She arranges to secretly sell her costly heart-shaped diamond earrings, a wedding present from her husband, to the original jeweler, Mr Rémy (Jean Debucourt). Relations between Louise and André are companionable, but they sleep in separate beds, have no children, and André has a secret mistress, of whom he has recently tired. Louise disguises the disappearance of the earrings by pretending to have lost them at the opera. The search for them eventually reaches the newspapers ("Theft at the Theatre") which in turn prompts Rémy to go to André and "discreetly" offer to sell them back. He accepts cheerfully and, rather than confront his wife, coolly gifts the earrings to his mistress, Lola (Lia Di Leo) whom he happens to be seeing off permanently to Constantinople.
