Paola and Andrea find out they both loved (and lost) the same man. They get over their mutual distrust and their friendship gradually develops to the point that they feel they should marry one another, but without giving up their personal freedom and sexual predilections. Theirs is a true love match: a marriage based on friendship and mutual respect, where sex does not come into the equation. The question is, will they stay together, or will society and its mores intervene?

Paola e Andrea, accomunati dall'aver amato e poi perso lo stesso uomo ed avvicinati dall'intensita' del reciproco odio, passano, attraverso equivoci e colpi di scena, a decidere quasi quasi di sposarsi, senza rinunciare ne' all'indipendenza ne' alle proprie inclinazioni sessuali.
