Nature has given Martine much, men little. She is beautiful, she possesses the rare gift of love. But in the age of nylon, she was born into conditions reminiscent of the Stone Age. Thus, modern comforts and cozy corners will be her first ideal, and the profession of manicurist amidst the mirrors and perfumes of a hair salon is enough to fulfill her dreams of beauty. In this, she is like millions of others.

Daniel Donelle, Martine's love, has already transcended this ideal of household appliances. A rose grower, touched by the wings of science, he dreams of a new rose that would have the shape of the modern rose and the incomparable fragrance of the old one.
