In the Café d'Harcourt in Paris, 1897. Parisian bohemians and ladies of easy virtue pass the time smoking and drinking. A young woman in a red dress buoyantly makes her way through their midst. Her conspicuous outfit belies the shy gaze with which she searchingly surveys the room. Yet nobody takes notice of her. In fact, there is no communication at all between the guests.
