Con-nois-seur (n.): a person of refined sensibility and discriminating taste; one who professes to know about such matters.Letty and her Austrian husband Dieter are into swinging. While he may be reserved, she is openly flirtatious and sensuous. Their visiting friends are a contrast in their own right: Roni reveling vicariously in the first couple's lifestyle and Frank being a bit of an awkward boor. Frank repels Letty's entreaties to dance, but Roni accepts. As the ladies dance in erotic turns, he is awkwardly immobilized into holding three wine glasses - theirs and his.
While lust is the obvious (deadly) sin, greed sidles in at the end, as Frank is girded to hard-bargain on the sale of Letty's and Dieter's house. Sensuality shifts to practical gamesmanship, as awkwardness becomes preparedness for a battle of a sort.
