Film Synopsis
The guesthouse run by the Mesureux family in Paris provides a refuge
for White Russians who are trying to start a new life far from their
troubled country. Vassia is in love with Hélène,
but she prefers Prince Fédor. The latter sustains a
serious injury whilst hunting but cannot afford medical
treatment. Hélène finds herself a job so that she
can pay Fédor's hospital bills. Vassia sets aside his
jealousy by lending her his support.
