Plot

In France in 1942 a young Jewish woman, Léna, is interned by the Vichy authorities and risks deportation to Nazi Germany. Michel, one of the guards, offers to save her by marrying her. They escape on foot over the Alps to Italy. After the war they settle in Lyon, where Michel opens a garage and Léna has two daughters with him. At a school event she meets another mother, Madeleine, married with one son. The two women become close friends and the two husbands get along with each other, though both men are secretly jealous of the bond their wives share.

Madeleine has a brief affair with her former art teacher, for which Léna lends her flat. Unfortunately, Michel comes home at lunchtime and finds the guilty couple. This turns him against Madeleine, and Léna's friendship with her. The two women were planning to open a dress shop, which Michel says he will finance provided it is without Madeleine, who has gone off to Paris. Taking a night train to go and see her, Léna has a sexual encounter with a soldier, her first experience apart from Michel and very enjoyable. In Paris, the two women dance and get drunk in a night club and fall into bed together.

But Léna has not realised the fragility of Madeleine, who is placed in a mental hospital and then released to the care of her parents. Going to see her, Léna takes her out to show her the new dress shop. Unfortunately, Michel drops in and on seeing Madeleine there smashes the place up. Léna takes Madeleine and their children away to a rented house beside the sea, where Michel turns up trying for reconciliation but with no success. An end caption says that Léna never met her husband again and Madeleine died two years later.
