In the aftermath of World War I, Paula Beer is a young German woman mourning the fiancé she lost in France when she meets a French stranger who has been leaving flowers at his grave. Pierre Niney’s visitor brings memories of the dead man that pull her into an uneasy connection shaped by grief, unanswered questions, and the divide between France and Germany after the war. As their meetings continue, the story stays close to loss inside a family still marked by the conflict and to the fragile intimacy that grows around a shared absence.
