The story will tell about a special love in the life of an extraordinary woman who was stuck in the middle of the last century in post-war France. Wayward Gabrielle and her dreams of true love were weakly combined with the reality dictated by time. A daring and freedom-loving girl has to live in a heartless marriage with a man chosen for her by her parents. Let him love the girl and be a diligent family man, but for Gabriel this union is like torture. Joyless existence is replaced by ardent passion when the heroine meets Andre Savage, a wounded veteran of the Vietnam War, at a medical resort in the Alps. But will the lovers be able to be together in such difficult times? Read more The film is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Milena Agus.
