Middle-aged chambermaid Hélènes newfound obsession with the game of chess leads her to seek the tutelage of a reclusive American expat, transforming both of their ho-hum lives in the process.
On Corsica, Hélène ride her bike to a seaside inn where shes a chambermaid; on her afternoons off, she takes the bus to the next town to clean houses. One morning she watches a couple play chess on the veranda while she cleans their room, fascinated by them and curious if its chess that brings such intimacy. She buys her husband a set for his birthday; hes indifferent, so she tries to teach herself, at night, while he sleeps. She asks one of her clients, Dr. Kröger, if hell teach her; he grudgingly agrees then finds she has aptitude. To her family, shes strayed beyond her class. After setbacks, will she accept that world view? And the intimacy, does she find that?
