Synopsis

Bernard, a promising composer is engaged to Hélène, but is jealous of her relationship with Professor d'Estérel who she assists. After an argument he goes out into heavy rain and falls ill. He is sent to a sanatorium in the mountains to recover. There he encounters Jacqueline, a girl he once knew at the conservatoire, who is dying of tuberculosis. To try and soften the last weeks of her life he pretends to romance her. Hélène also helps to support this act of kindness.
