It is winter 1940. World War II is wreaking havoc in Europe, but in Montréal, hope is springing forth in the Saint-Henri area. The war has brought an end to the depression that drove the area into a state of misery. Florentine Lacasse is a waitress at the local Quinze-cents restaurant. She gives her meager earnings to her parents to help support their large family. Jean Lévesque seduces Florentine, then tries to pass her off to his friend, Emmanuel Létourneau, but she will have no part of it. With the Lacasse family life in the background, the film tells the passionate tale of this love triangle.
