Depressed after being abandoned by her young lover, affluent Helene (Annie Giradot) heads off to a health clinic on the coast. The treatments by Dr. Devilers (Alain Delon) make her and the other guests feel better, and for a while that is enough. However, Helene stumbles upon the resort's dark secret: the patients rejuvenation comes at the expense of Portuguese youths, who arrive at the clinic to work in the gardens and are never seen again.
