Plot:

Europe, 1922. The post-war 'lost generation' of expatriates who 'continued to live as if they were about to die' includes newspaperman Jake Harris, impotent due to a war wound; gorgeous party girl Lady Brett Ashley, hopelessly in love with Jake whom she can't marry because of her sexual needs; Brett's purely nominal fiance, Mike; and writers Robert and Bill. They wander about Europe in berets, drinking, having affairs, and finding no lasting satisfaction in anything.
