Plot summary
Albert Quentin spent years as a marine in the French Navy, serving in China, and now keeps a small hotel in a Normandy seaside town with his wife Suzanne. The quiet winters bore him. During an air raid in June 1944 he promised Suzanne he would give up drink if their hotel survived, and he has kept that for fifteen years. One winter night Gabriel Fouquet, an advertising man, takes a room and drinks at Esnault's bar after a call to his wife, who has moved to Madrid. Albert finds him in the street, brings him in and puts him to bed, and is drawn to the stranger. Gabriel also has a daughter, Marie, boarding at a convent in the town. Both men live partly in dreams: Albert in his China adventures, Gabriel in flamenco and bullfighting.
