- Synopsis:
- The first to die in an epidemic of meningitis in Vera Cruz is a French tourist (André Toffel). His wife Nellie (Michèle Morgan), detached and indifferent, feels little grief and realizes that her coldness is her own doom. Over the next two days, she is attracted to George (Gérard Philipe), a local drunk who does odd jobs for brothels and dances grotesquely for tourists in exchange for drinks. George has his own dark secret, a tragedy he caused that leaves him with a death wish. In assisting the local doctor to cope with the epidemic, these two emotional cripples enable each other to rediscover reasons to live and to love.
