Henri, who served as a gendarme in Algeria, fled the country at the outbreak of the War of Independence and now works for distant relatives engaged in some murky business. Louise, born in an unremarkable English village and devoted to caring for her father, a World War II invalid, dreams of escaping the wilderness into the big and beautiful world. Their paths cross in Spain, where Louise appropriates what Henri is obliged to return or he will be in trouble. He chases her across Europe - from Granada to Paris, from Belgrade to Istanbul - but cannot make a decisive move, and the endless game of cat and mouse goes on and on. Both have to come to terms with their difficult pasts, learn each other's secrets and write the story of their own lives, abandoning the usual plots in which bad characters necessarily deserve punishment.
