In the early hours of the long summer night, Julie accompanies Jean to his room and sleeps with him. But after the night of passion the roles are reversed: Jean is now the stronger one, and Julie the humiliated. Jean convinces Julie to steal money from her father and to elope with him. Finally he gives Julie his razor and convinces her that the only way for her to escape her predicament is to commit suicide.
