Synopsis
Spring 1944. A truck containing several people who have
been arrested by the Germans is suddenly attacked by the
Resistance. One of the survivors is Pierre, a young architect,
who flees and hides himself in another truck. When he lights a
cigarette taken from the dead driver, there is an explosion and Pierre
is badly injured. A short time later, the helpless Pierre is
discovered by Jeanne Moncatel as she is heading homewards on her
bicycle. With the help of Dr Andrieux, she takes Pierre to the
large house where she lives with her mother. Madame Moncatel is a
mean and fastidious woman who has persuaded her daughter that she is
ugly and stupid. Dr Andrieux has long been in love with Jeanne
but, under her mother’s influence, she turned down a proposal of
marriage. With Madame Moncatel unaware of his presence in the
house, Pierre responds affectionately to the care that Jeanne gives
him. Just when these two people start to feel something for one
other Dr Andrieux announces that Pierre will stay blind for the rest of
his life...
