Villa Amalia plot
On a rainy evening in Paris, concert pianist Ann meets her childhood friend Georges. This reunion reinforces her intention to start a new life: she coolly rejects her adulterous husband, cancels her engagements as a pianist, transforms her appearance and radically erases all traces of her old life. First she retires to Georges' country house. A journey takes Ann to Villa Amalia on a pristine Italian island. She fixes up the secluded house and leads a simple life. With Georges as a discreet liaison to her old world, Ann seems to succeed in building a new life.
