Guy Foucher, a auto mechanic, has recently fallen inlove with 17-year-old Geneviève Emery, an employee in her widowed mother's chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the day before Guy is to leave in Algeria to get a excursion of combat, he and Geneviève create love. She becomes pregnant and has to choose between accepting an offer of marriage from the wealthy diamond merchant or looking forward to Guy's reunite.
