It tells the story of a young American woman Isabel Walker who travels to Paris to visit her pregnant sister Roxy (Roxeanne). Roxy's husband Charles-Henri left her for his lover Magda Tellman. Later on, Isabel secretly falls in love with her French uncle-in-law Edgar Cosset and becomes his mistress. Le Divorce was filmed in Paris at locations including Café de Flore, Tour Eiffel, Musée du Louvre and Salle Gaveau (concert sequence, Alan Ewing and uncredited Les Arts Florissants member performed Marc-Antoine Charpentier's "Pleurons plutôt de présentes douleurs" from "Il faut rire et chanter: Dispute de bergers, H. 484" which was recorded previously with William Christie, but they performed again just for this film).
