Julia (Danielle Darrieux) is a woman who marries a younger man in this pre-World War II drama. The newlyweds settle down and run a store inherited by the bride. With storm clouds of war on the horizon, the woman's brother-in-law makes a small fortune dealing in guns and ammunition, and when war finally breaks out, Julia is left alone when her husband answers the nation's call to build up the military. She has a premonition about her husband's death as others only think of how they too can profit from the human misery of war.
