Juliette and Sophie share an apartment. Juliette is a garrulous 18-year-old girl who can’t go five minutes without telling a lie. She spies on her upstairs neighbour, a man of 40, pretending she is in love with him … until the day she really is. She vows to reform and speak nothing but the truth. But her reputation precedes her and her gentleman friend refuses to take anything she says seriously.
