During World War II, Denis (Olivier Jallageas), a schoolboy, goes to visit some soldiers in a military hospital. There, he meets the nun Clotilde (France Dougnac) whom he immediately likes. The chemistry between them is so strong that they begin an affair. Though others suspect something is not quite respectable between them, they manage to see quite a lot of one another before they are discovered. The boy is then sent off to a strict boarding school and the nun leaves her religious community in order to wait for him.
