Chéri
is a love story between a young man of twenty-five, Chéri, and his
twenty-four years older mistress, Lea. Their days are full of love,
happiness, cute words and promises. And their relation is just a love
game.
Their
affair lasts a few years until his marriage. Then everything
changing, both of them are suffering. Day by day they are losing
something important, a part of oneself. And such a day is coming when Chéri becomes bored with his wife and becomes distant from her
claiming everything his wife says and does is wrong because it is not
Lea - the woman who he is admiring.
Finally
he is making a decision. He returns to Lea, because he wants to feel
the same as long time ago. They spend one last night together before
they both recognize the inevitable. She knows that time is their
enemy and that their relation doesn't have future. She is bluntly
reminding him that she is an aging woman whose charms for him are
going to soon fade.
They
have to face the facts - the god of love and the god money weren't
good enough to them because everything what gave them happiness to
that time was only for a limited time.
