Spoilers ahead
Pierre, Hardy Krüger, a pilot who was shot down in the French Indochina War, returns to a haunted quiet where his crash may have killed a young Vietnamese girl. Now physically recovered, he shares a Paris suburb apartment in Ville-d’Avray with Madeleine, Nicole Courcel, who was one of his nurses during his long convalescence. Yet he carries a childlike vulnerability, suffering from amnesia and vertigo that clinic visits and routine days barely mask. He spends his days with Carlos, Daniel Ivernel, Madeleine’s friend, helping an artist pursue his projects. The trio forms a fragile, intimate circle around Pierre, trying to rebuild a sense of normalcy from the fragments of a war-torn past.
