Two years after the end of WWI, Major Delaplane is still trying to identify some of the more than 350,000 unidentified soldiers left by the war. One day, he makes the acquaintance of Irčne de Courtil, a woman searching for her missing husband in the numerous military hospitals of France. Delaplane will try to help her in this quest as though he's convinced that Irčne's husband has died during the war.
