In 1940 during the German invasion and the fall of France, Claire finds an abandoned baby and brings him up. Five years later after the Allied victory, the boy's father who has been held as a prisoner of war and has now been released wants the child back. Claire manages to get herself hired as governess by the boy's grandmother the Countess de Cébrat at the family's country estate. She discovers the boy's real mother suffering from amnesia in a displaced persons camp and reunites the family, before removing herself from the scene with a heavy heart.
