A bashful, young man is infatuated with an unknown woman he meets every day in the streets. After a brief encounter he knows that she is interested in him as well. The next day she has disappeared. He paces the streets up and down for three weeks, but no sign of her. His despair is growing and so is his hunger. It becomes a daily routine to break his search after the unknown woman with a visit to a small bakery, where an 18-year-old girl sells the cakes to him. After a while he finds out that the young girl approaches him, but in a shy way. Because he is in love with another woman, he feels not diffident in front of this young and innocent girl, and starts a small courtship with her. It's a kind of revenge, which makes him feel unworthy, but he justifies himself by laying the fault on her. She tells him her name is Jacqueline, and after much hesitation she agrees to meet him at a restaurant one evening. Ten minutes before the rendezvous should take place, he suddenly meets the unknown woman, Sylvie, on the street again. He quickly decides to ignore his appointment with Jacqueline. With Sylvie found, seeing the other would be a vice, an aberration. His choice to ignore Jacqueline is for him a question of morals.
