Jean and Pauline first meet at a ball at Barbazac in the Charente region of France when she is twenty. He is a Protestant minister, married with a young daughter, and has just resigned himself to the failure of his marriage with Nathalie. The pressures of the upstanding Protestant society surrounding them do not count since their “sentimental destinies” are closely bound.
In the tragic upheavals of a changing world marked by the incurable wound of the Great War and in which certainties and industrial dynasties crumble, the love of Jean and Pauline, in all its luminous permanence, is stronger than anything, stronger perhaps than death itself.
“Love… there’s nothing else in life… nothing.”
