A unique documentary about New York City by the great New York photographer Jan Yoors and Pierre-Dominique Gaisseau.

Therese Roger, daughter of a West Indian planter, whose parents are murdered while she is a baby, becomes the adopted daughter of her aunt, Madame Roger, keeper of a haberdashery shop in one of the smaller villages in southern France. She grows up with Camille, Madame Roger's son, a sickly, sexless creature, whom she ultimately marries in deference to her aunt's wishes.

This picture tells the very human story, or romance, of an unloved wife and mother, who, although possessing wealth and social position, craved the love of her husband.
