Synopsis
Miléna, who has lived alone with her grandmother in an isolated baroque French château near the Pyrenees, becomes one of the heirs of the estate upon her grandmother's death. Her cousins Jean-Paul and Fifine, whom she has never met because of a family quarrel, are also named as heirs. The young family lawyer, Miguel, summons the brother and sister for the reading of the will, but Jean-Paul is delayed, and Fifine arrives alone. Jean-Paul's friend Robert, with whom Fifine lives, unexpectedly arrives soon afterwards, and Miléna mistakes him for her cousin. They are greatly attracted to each other, and Robert continues to assume the role of Jean-Paul in order to remain at the château. At the same time, Fifine and Miguel are drawn to each other, as are César, the butler of the château, and Prudence, the seductive new maid. The six pair off and spend the night making love. In the morning, Robert reveals his true identity, and Milena forgives him. Fifine discovers that Miguel is a philanderer and becomes hysterical, but Jean-Paul arrives in time to comfort her.
