Synopsis
In a small Corsican village, Hélène leads an uneventful but contented life.  In her early forties, she is happily married, has a teenage daughter and works as a chambermaid in a hotel.  One day, she sees a couple playing chess in a hotel room and becomes fascinated by the game.  With the help of Monsieur Kröger, a strange old man, Hélène not only learns the rules of the game but soon becomes a talented player.  But whilst this intellectual awakening gives Hélène a new lease of life, it is not without its consequences, for her relationship with her family and friends...
