Like the straw that breaks the camel's back, one night Ann sees Thomas kissing another woman and she decides to leave him, to leave everything behind. She's a musician and only music has a hold over her, but it doesn't hold her back. Music is everything to her. Georges, a childhood acquaintance, appears on the scene.
