A pianist, this demure, taciturn girl is hired as an accompanist by the beautiful, talented singer Irene Brice. Admired by the public, Irene is adored by her husband, Charles Brice, a rich businessman collaborating with the German occupiers and the Vichy regime. Dazzled by the luxury and comfort in which the Brices live, fascinated by Irene's grace and kindness, Sophie soon goes to live with her employers and eventually learns the couple's intimate secrets.
