16-year-old Genevieve and 20-year-old Guy are very much in love. Her kind mother, who runs an umbrella shop, wont hear of her marrying, particularly as Guy has yet to complete his compulsory military service. Genevieve is heartbroken when he leaves for his army service in colonial Algeria and is upset to have received only one letter from him in two months. Her mothers solution to this situation is kind diamond-merchant Roland Cassard, who has helped them in the past.
Set against the backdrop of a pastel-coloured, rain-soaked, mid-1950s Cherbourg, demurely beautiful sixteen-year-old Geneviève, the daughter of once-thriving umbrella boutique proprietress Madame Emery, finds herself at loves command. In other words, luminous Geneviève has eyes only for handsome twenty-year-old auto mechanic Guy. However, fate has other plans in store for the young couple. As Guy is called up for military service in Algeria, sad-eyed Geneviève braces herself up for two long years of emotional hardship, slowly realising that some dreams may never come true. Because sometimes, absence makes the heart grow cold and distant instead of warmer. And then, kind and sophisticated Parisian jeweller Roland walks into Madame Emerys shop, offering support and undying, unconditional love. Is this the prelude to a silent farewell between the star-crossed lovers?
