Plot
Paula Tessier is a 40-year-old interior designer who for the past five years has been the mistress of Roger Demarest, a "philandering business executive" who refuses to stop seeing other women. When Paula meets Philip, the 25-year-old son of one of her wealthy clients, he falls in love with her and insists that the age difference will not matter. Paula resists the young man's advances, but finally succumbs when Roger initiates yet another affair with one of his young "Maisies". While she is initially happy with Philip, her friends and business associates disapprove of the May–December romance. By the time of the ending, the plot has undergone a triple reversal that thrusts one of life's wry ironies up the nose of the viewer.
