Fröhliche Ostern

Stephane Margelle (Jean-Paul Belmondo) has been married for a long time. Shortly after his wife leaves, he meets the young, attractive Julie (Sophie Marceau) by chance. He is immediately enthusiastic about her charm and hopes for a secret adventure with her. Shortly before his destination, however, his wife Sophie (Marie Laforêt) surprisingly returns. She immediately sees through the clearly ambiguous situation and Stephane finds herself in dire need of explanation. But he has the perfect excuse ready: Julie is his daughter, who comes from a relationship before his marriage. But lies have short legs and so he gets entangled in more and more turbulent entanglements.
