action
Gabrielle Rabascal travels to Lyon with her husband José and their son Marc , where Marc will take part in a national piano competition at the Conservatory. When the car has to stop, Gabrielle sees that the adjacent street is called Rue de Commines and rushes out of the car. She goes to house number 26 and discovers the name "Sauvage" on the doorbell.
Review: Gabrielle grew up in a small French village. She is in love with the village teacher, but he turns her away. She becomes "lovesick", is overstrained and is considered to be nervous. Her mother Adèle is always on the verge of admitting her to a clinic. She dismisses her daughter's painful cramps as partially played. When Adèle realizes that the craftsman José, a Spaniard who fled the Franco regime , is interested in Gabrielle, she offers him her daughter as a wife. Faced with the impending hospitalization, Gabrielle decides to marry José, whom she neither knows nor loves. He too claims not to love her. When she makes it clear to him that they will never sleep together, he agrees; she agrees that he see prostitutes instead.
Both move into a small apartment after the wedding, but José is already starting to build his own house by the sea. He accepts his wife's peculiarities with quiet long-suffering. One day when he wants to go to prostitutes again, Gabrielle dresses up as a prostitute and they sleep together. Gabrielle becomes pregnant, but loses the child after a short time when, as is so often the case, she has severe cramps. The medical examination reveals that she has stone disease . The doctor recommends a six-week cure, which Gabrielle starts shortly after in Switzerland. José promises to visit her regularly.
During the cure, Gabrielle met the soldier André Sauvage after a short time. He fought in the Indochina War and fell ill there. He is weak and in severe pain. Nurse Agostine, with whom Gabrielle befriends, implies that André may not survive. Officer Blaise is the only one who regularly checks on André. Gabrielle slowly makes contact with André, he plays the piano for her and gives her a book that includes his address. She is sure that he is interested in her too and is happy. At that time, her husband arrives at the spa and André is suddenly taken to a hospital because his condition has deteriorated significantly. Gabrielle runs after the ambulance, unable to catch up with him, and collapses, exhausted.
Gabrielle wakes up several days later. It snowed and André is back. He is better after a transfusion and has only returned because of her. Gabrielle has a photo taken of herself and André. He initially rejects her advances because she is a married woman, but then seduces her and they both spend a passionate night of love. Shortly afterwards, Gabrielle is informed of the end of the treatment and André also leaves. Both promise to keep in touch in writing.
Upon her return, Gabrielle moves into the newly built house with José. She is pregnant and confesses to José that she met someone on the cure with whom she would go if he only wanted to. Her letters to André, however, remain unanswered and one day they are collected and returned unopened. Gabrielle is desperate. She gives birth to son Marc; Years go by and the memory of André fades. Marc learns to play the piano and one day is allowed to take part in the national piano competition in Lyon. Here Gabrielle discovers the street where André lives. She rushes to his apartment, but finds only Blaise there. The apartment belonged to Andrés father, who passed away. Gabrielle learns that André died the day he left the Kurhaus in the ambulance. He never returned. It turns out that Gabrielle never had the affair with him and José knew it too. He had spoken to Andrés the day before he was being transported and found out that André finds Gabrielle attractive, but because of his state of health he would not be able to have an affair. Nor was it André with whom Gabrielle slept the following night, but José, who had returned to his wife at the Kurhaus. So Marc is José's son. He didn't tell her about their fantasized affair, because he wanted her to have a reason to live in the hope of André's reaction to her letters. Gabrielle finds her way back to her family and visits the village where he comes from for the first time with her husband.
