Michel, a young scholar newly married, contracts tuberculosis on his North African honeymoon. As he fights back to life he discovers an instinctive health that scholarship and convention had concealed. Back in France with Marceline, Michel increasingly treats duty, property and fidelity as shells to be broken—while the wife who saved him begins to fail.
