Her talent is recognized by her peers, but she leads a solitary existence, haunted by the painful memory of her relationship with Paul. One day, she is offered a unique project: the reproduction of a famous actress's face. When Paul tells her that he is seeing someone else, Emmanuelle sees in the mask she has created the possibility of getting rid of her rival.
