This simple romantic tragedy begins in 1957. Guy Foucher, a 20-year-old French auto mechanic, has fallen in love with 17-year-old Geneviève Emery, an employee in her widowed mother's chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the evening before Guy is to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She becomes pregnant and must choose between waiting for Guy's return or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.

"An operatic musical, with all lines sung. La Deneuve is great. I cried."

"Took a second to process that not only was it in French but also completely sung. Such an amazing film with a beautiful story line and visuals. Love the color palette for this!"
