Joan is no longer in love with Victor, but it pains her to feel she is being dishonest with him.

Architect Mark Wallace and his wife, Joanna, travel to France to meet with an affluent client. While there, they reflect on their first decade of marriage -- memories of when they first met, of courtship, and of road trips through the French countryside.
