In the Amber-Hued Rain
Duke Claude de Bernard returns home exhausted from the front of World War I. In the autumn of 1922, while walking in the Forest of Fontainebleau, he comes across a mystically beautiful woman named Sharon Kazatti. Soon joined by ladies and gentlemen coming out of a soiree, she slips away out of his sight. Claude utters in spite of himself that she is a woman of sublime beauty. Hearing Claude's exclamation, a young man seemingly alone tells Claude that she is only a mannequin not worthy of his praise and belonging to world other than his. The young man's name is Louis Valentin and his profession is a gigolo. It seems that Louis does not care for Sharon less than Claude. Claude denies Louis's assertion saying that she also has a soul just like him. A strange friendship grows between the two as they find that they both are attracted to the same woman. They decide to fairly compete in winning Sharon's heart.
