For tourists who fall in love with the country they are travelling in, charms of great potency are always at work.

It is 1945 and a young American couple arrive in France for a four-month holiday. It is their chance to immerse themselves in the culture and language, and they arrive full of anticipation and enthusiasm. But the countryside and people are war-battered and their reception at the Chateau Beaumesnil, where they begin their stay, is not all the open-hearted Americans could wish for.

Every encounter leaves them with more questions. Why are they not welcomed as citizens of the nation that liberated Europe? What are the secrets in the family? Will they never learn enough of France to fathom the reserve of their hosts?
