During the ESO key-program on gravitational lenses, the light curves of two images (A and B) of the lensed quasar UM 425 were obtained (from 1987 to 1995). This poster presents a possible interpretation of the light curves in terms of a micro-lensing event in the faint B component of the system, without ruling out a possible intrinsic variation of the source.
