Summary
After an upsetting personal drama, Sophie decides to leave her home country, the United States, and move to France.  In Paris, she divides her time between the opera house, where she is employed as a dresser to a great Swedish singer, and amateur dramatics.  David, 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...
