A writer has written a novel about the great love of his youth. After reading it, a woman stands before him whom he does not recognize. He is now the author and she the figure from his novel. The young girl from the past has obviously become an interesting and also attractive, but married woman. The situation becomes comical: they sit down, drink a glass of wine, talk about French love romance, and wonder what can be expected from love, when you get older. Even as Jutta's husband is sitting in the next room.
