Synopsis
France, 1830.  Morbidly obsessed with the brevity of his existence, Raphaël throws himself into a life of excessive debauchery.  It is a path that can only lead towards ignominious self-destruction...  But then, one day, Raphaël meets Aurore, a young window, whose life and philosophy are the complete opposite of his.   She lives a simple existence in the country, doing good works, virtuous in every word and deed.  But their meeting awakens something in both of them.  Aurore becomes aware of a longing she has never known, whilst Raphaël is assailed by emotions with which he is entirely unfamiliar...
