In Paris of the early 1900s, a young middle-class French man, Claude Roc, meets and becomes friends with a young English woman, Anne Brown. Anne invites Claude to stay with her and her sister, Muriel, at their house in Wales. There, Claude is initially attracted to Anne, but Anne diverts his attention towards Muriel. When Claude and Muriel realise that they are in love, Claude’s mother insists that they should separate for one year. Then, if they are still in love, they may marry with her accord. After just six months of separation, Claude writes to Muriel to say that he no longer loves her, which devastates Muriel. By chance, Anne meets up with Claude in Paris and the two enjoy a short-lived romance. Anne discovers that Claude’s love for Muriel has not died yet...
