For some time, Paul, a 30-something arts student, has been having an affair with an older married woman, Hélène.  The relationship no longer satisfies Paul, so he takes advantage of a trip to Italy to put some distance between them.  Whilst attending an arts exposition at Naples, Paul meets Serge, an older man with whom he has an instant rapport.  Not knowing that Serge is depressed and intends to kill himself shortly, Paul agrees to accompany him back to Paris.  For one man, this is a chance to become better acquainted with a country he has always loved.  For the other, it is a final pilgrimage to those places that have marked his unsettled life...
