Arriving in the village of Castelnau, she is befriended by Gabriella Madison, a young American exchange student, who encourages her to volunteer in a local orphanage, now a haven for children displaced by the war. As Anne-Marie pours herself into her newfound work, she discovers information that shakes the very foundation of her being.
