Spoilers ahead
In Paris, Bernard Lawrence is a sharp-witted American journalist who has built a remarkably intricate dating scheme to juggle three girlfriends without ever letting them cross paths. A consummate playboy, he coordinates his life around non-overlapping flight schedules so that one girlfriend leaves on an outbound flight, another arrives for a layover, and a third is tucked away in a holding pattern somewhere, all while he keeps the numbers straight in a painstakingly organized system. The heart of his plan rests on the careful timing of encounters and the constant rotation of roles, so that his world remains smooth, discreet, and entirely under his control.
