The moral of this film is "Watch out for what you think you want, since you may get it." Set in Paris around the period of World War I, the plot involves two writers Jules and Jim (Oskar Werner and Henri Serre). They both fall in love with beautiful Catherine (Jeanne Moreau) who is the personification of an ancient stone carving the men saw in Greece and have been obsessed by ever since. The three become inseparable friends. Jules marries Catherine, and they have a baby (Sabine Haudepin)–but Catherine still loves both Jules and Jim. The war ends, and Jim moves in with Catherine and Jules, and, with Jules approval, Jim becomes Catherine's lover. Now, just when they think they have what they want, problems ensue and lead to tragedy.
