About the show

Vanessa has spent twenty years waiting for her former lover Anatol to return, keeping the mirrors in her house covered and living with her mother, the Baroness, and her niece Erika. When a young man named Anatol arrives, Vanessa mistakes him for her former lover. Erika falls in love with the young Anatol, but doubts his sincerity and refuses his marriage proposal. Vanessa becomes engaged to him. At the announcement, Erika faints, then runs into the cold while pregnant and miscarries. Vanessa and Anatol leave for Paris. Erika covers the mirrors and closes the house, beginning a vigil of her own.
