L'Âne et le Ruisseau

Baron de Valbrun is committed to the Countess. His childhood friend, Marquis de Berny, is engaged to Marguerite, her cousin and protégée. But the Baron, shy and wounded in the past, does not dare declare his love. And Marguerite, sensitive and independent, defends herself against the Marquis's overconfidence.

To precipitate events and challenge their indecision, the Countess and the Marquis devise a most daring scheme: make the Baron jealous by making him believe they are secretly in love with each other.

Yet in playing the theatre of feelings, does one not risk getting burned by the fire of one's own contradictions?
