A young woman, named Adélaïde lives in France, and she is pursued by many suitors, but she turns them all down because her one true love has gone away to war, and she has not heard of him for months, though she does not give up hope and lies in wait of his return. In the end he dies in the war, killed by a German soldier, but she knows in her heart he is still with her.
