Gabrielle comes from a small village in the South of France, at a time when her dream of true love is considered scandalous, and even a sign of insanity. Her parents marry her to José, an honest and loving Spanish farm worker who they think will make a respectable woman of her. Despite José's devotion to her, Gabrielle vows that she will never love José and lives like a prisoner bound by the constraints of conventional post-World War II society until the day she is sent away to a cure in the Alps to heal her kidney stones. There she meets André Sauvage, a dashing injured veteran of the Indochinese War, who rekindles the passion buried inside her. She promises they will run away together, and André seems to share her desire. Will anyone dare rob her of her right to follow her dreams? (Cannes Film Festival)

A completely useless romance that might only please male viewers by showing Marion Cotillard’s pubic hair. And I believe Marion tried as hard as she could, but she just couldn’t save the awful writing with her enchanting acting performance, which is a standard when it comes to her… unlike high-quality scripts. This movie is the proof of that.
