August 1944: as the Allies advance through France, a young American officer presents himself to the command of the 90th Division and reveals his work in the French Resistance. His knowledge of the terrain leads him to guide the commander to a strategically valuable castle surrounded by vineyards. There his memories surface: childhood with his brother Guy and sister Anna, the champagne empire his father built, and the place where he knew love. The war ended up destroying everything.
