description: Paris 1975. While sifting through condolence letters after her mother's death Camille finds a long handwritten missive that she assumes came by mistake. But every Tuesday brings another installment from a stranger named Louis a man separated from his first love Annie in the years before World War II. In his tale Annie falls victim to the merciless plot of a wealthy barren couple just as German troops arrive in Paris. But also awaiting Camille's discovery is the other side of the story - one that calls into question Annie's innocence and reveals the devastating consequences of revenge. As Camille reads on she realizes that her own life may be the next chapter in this tragic story.
