Synopsis
Late one evening in a Parisian bar, Jérôme rakes over his
memories and begins to tell his sad life story to the attentive bar
owner. It begins in 1939, when Jérôme, 22, has just
completed the second year of his studies in medicine. He has his
whole life before him and he is ready to take a vacation. He
thinks only of Claudia, an Italian girl and fellow student, but so far
he has never had the courage to speak to her. This bright sunny
day Jérôme decides to pay her a call at the small hotel
where she is staying. For the young man, the realisation that
Claudia loves him is a miracle, the kind that only ever happens once in
a lifetime. When Claudia says she must return to her home village
in Tuscany, Jérôme follows her there and the two spend an
idyllic summer together. Neither of them believes that anything
could ruin their future happiness together. This was before a
voice came onto the radio to announce that war had just been declared...
