Françoise, a thirty‑year‑old single typist, devotes her Sundays to a solitary escape. On one such day she pretends to attend a horse race, using it as an excuse to refine her sense of elegance and sophistication. Meanwhile, Georges, a widowed neighbor, takes an interest in her and begins to court her.
