Andre Gide
Jerome Palissier spends many summers at his uncle's house in the Normandy countryside. There he falls in love with his cousin Alissa and she with him. But gradually she becomes convinced that Jerome's love for her is endangering his soul. In the interests of his salvation, she decides to suppress everything that is beautiful in herself.
