Melodramatic story of Greta Garbo's unhappy love life. The "only man she could ever love" takes a job in Egypt to satisfy his father, leaving poor Greta behind. Years pass, Greta has numerous affairs which make the society pages, while her former lover gets engaged. They have a one night stand in Paris, but he gets married anyway while she ends up in an insane asylum. He rushes to her side, she is cured and his wife grants a divorce. Did I mention the multiple suicides?
