In 'After the Season,' a man of humble means fallsin love with a woman belonging to a much elevated financial status and wrestles with his feelings and his beliefs about the rich.

And in 'The Night in Baden-Baden' a man who's caught in a lie changes his ways - by sleeping with another woman only after being accused.
