She meets more diverse customers: diplomats, bishops, fathers of families dissatisfied with their wives or fetishists including a man who disguises himself as a crocodile to sleep with her. She falls in love with one of them, a certain Jean-François, to the point of settling at home but he is frigid and avoids sexual relations.

But, tired of this life of debauchery in this brothel of luxury and attracted by Eastern philosophy, she decides to leave everything ...
