Marguerite, who shines in the smoke-filled salons of Paris, meets the young Armand at the most turbulent turning point of her life. Directed by Louis Mercanton, André Calmettes, and Henri Pouctal, this drama captures the quiet sacrifices hidden behind the glamorous streets with a black-and-white tremor. Resigning herself to her fate after Armand’s father intervenes, the young woman is left utterly alone in the shadow of this separation she brought upon herself. As poverty and illness knock at the door, the ghosts of the past envelop both of them.
