Young and beautiful, Marjoline likes everything that's clean, pretty and smooth. She works as a manicurist in a luxury beauty salon and is obsessed with a young horticulturalist whose heart she manages to win. In the post-war "nylon years" of the 1950s where the story is set, the newlyweds are encouraged to start their new life surrounded by new things, so Marjoline buys to her heart's content, through loans or on credit, until she loses herself in debt.
