Four tales of Jean la Fontaine are tell in a libertine way. Transposed to the 18th century, the pleasure of infidelity is described in all its forms: a married woman seduced by her new servant ("Le cocu battu - et content"), a man surprised by his neighbor in a delicate position with his servant ("La servante justifiée"), the wives of Messire Guillaume, abandoned, find something satisfying with Robin("Conte normand"), and finally, a bourgeois pushes infidelity to vice and deflowers a nun for all to see at the convent ("Les lunettes").
