Summary
After an upsetting personal drama, Sophie decides to leave her home

her director, begins to take an interest in her but she stubbornly
refuses to embark on another love affair. Little by little,
Sophie is moved by David’s entreaties and his attempts to seduce
her. After each show at the opera, she notices a silent young
man, Valentin. One day, the stranger approaches her and Sophie
finally becomes an actress in her own story...
