Synopsis

The charming Pascal, owner of a clothing store in Courchevel, and the chubby and scruffy Micky, disc jockey in a nearby club, are best of friends. Pascal accumulates women, much to the chagrin of Micky, who is consoled of his failures by listening to his friend talk about his successes. Viviane arises, ravishing and icy, but she's seasonal. Pascal, sincerely in love, seduces her and then leaves. This is a dire situation for Micky: Pascal is far away and the beauty is so kind to him. Complications arise once Pascal returns.

Plot

In the ski resort of Courchevel, Pascal is the tall, handsome and wealthy owner of a sports goods shop with no shortage of girl friends and his best friend is the DJ Micky, short, plump and always on his own. Early one morning, Pascal drags Micky up to his isolated chalet to show him the most fantastic girl he has ever had in his bed, the glamorous Viviane, and as he has to open his shop he asks Micky to look after her. Since Micky has also fallen totally for her charm, he finds it difficult to resist when she seduces him as well. In the days that follow, the two men struggle to keep their friendship intact and to keep the affection of Viviane. Eventually Micky cracks under the strain and Pascal moves him into the chalet where Viviane can look after him. With spring approaching, Viviane starts thinking of the coast and drives off with a man she has met. As the two friends are on the terrace commiserating over her departure, she creeps back alone and overhears how much they both love her and miss her.
