...Even George doesn't know exactly whom he is thinking about, so he jumps into his little green sports car and tools around Los Angeles, searching for love and himself. He finds both through an exquisite Frenchwoman named Lola (Anouk Aimee) who earns her living as a "model" for passionate amateur photographers.
