France, early 18th century. On her way to the convent, the young and beautiful Manon meets Chevalier des Grieux, and it is love at first sight. Together they flee to Paris. But Manon, drawn to the luxury and pleasures of the capital, wavers between her sincere love for des Grieux and the temptation of a life of luxury. A dance between passion and ambition.
