Synopsis
Louise Martin lives with her parents and is engaged as a maid by Jess Rooland, a rich American who lives in a fancy apartment on the other side of the street.  He is a nostalgic and mysterious man who is married to Thelma, a depressive alcoholic.  Louise cannot understand why Thelma repeatedly calls her husband a murderer.  In truth, Thelma blames Jess for the death of their son, who was killed in a road accident a few years before.  Louise has much to discover about Jess, including her own feelings for him...
