Synopsis
The educational year is ending and Jrme, a medical student, is on the point of leaving on holiday to Brittany with friends. However he remains pensive and regrets not having approached Claudia, an Italian student, who must leave France the same evening. So he decides to go to her hotel. The two young people acknowledge their mutual love and Jrme accompanies Claudia to the station and promises to join her
in Tuscany the next month, as soon as he finds enough money. In Tuscany, Jrme realizes that he seriously loves Claudia and proposes marriage to her. The two lovers return to their hotel but the city is agitated: war has just been declared. Jrme learns from the consulate that he has been mobilised and that he must return. Separated by the war and no longer able to correspond, Jrme loses track of Claudia. He will try to forget her by remaking his life, but haunted by the memory of this lost love, he will not succeed. Eleven years later, he leaves for Italy to try to find her, but time has passed...
