Three stories linked by a studio in Paris: In 1937, two lovers meet after 15 years in the room in which they were lovers once. In 1939, the room is occupied by a medical student who has an affair with a doctor much older than herself. In 1942, a young girl lives in the room and has an affair with a married man.

Adapted from a novella by D H Lawrence. Yvette, restless and beautiful, returns with her sister Lucille from the relative freedom of a French finishing school to the claustrophobic, guilt-ridden, rectory in the North of England that is her home. There is immediate tension with her Father, the pedantic country Rector, her pale pious maiden Aunt Cissie and her aged Grandmother.
