In Provence in 1830, a cholera epidemic closes roads and cities. Angelo Pardi, a young exiled Italian hussar officer, searches for Giuseppe, a Carbonaro from Manosque. Accused of poisoning the wells, he takes refuge on the rooftops, contemplates death and the landscape, and meets a woman; together they will live a story of love and renunciation.
