The story is set during the Franco-Prussian War, following the lives of characters who navigate the chaos of war, particularly focusing on Louise Bellard, a young woman caught in the turmoil as she seeks to protect her loved ones amidst the occupation of her land. The narrative explores themes of sacrifice, love, and the brutality inflicted by war. The opening of the narrative introduces us to a cold winter evening in January 1871, where the German soldiers occupy the ancestral home of the Solgrès family. Louise Bellard, a recent bride anxiously awaiting news of her husband who has gone to war, secretly navigates her way to the Solgrès estate. Inside, she witnesses the disrespectful and indulgent behavior of the occupying soldiers and grapples with her contempt as she reflects on the consequences of invasion. The scene unfolds into a crucial encounter where she speaks with Armande de Solgrès, the daughter of the count. This exchange quickly escalates as they discover a wounded Italian soldier, Michel Occana, hiding in the estate, leading to a bond that transcends their different social standings amidst the peril of external threats and internal struggles against the backdrop of war.
