[edit] Summary

Just after her engagement with Vittorio, Nelly (Deneuve) runs away from him. As he pursues her, she looks for help to Martin (Montand), a French middle-aged man she met by accident. He helps her to escape and drives her to the airport and gives her a plane ticket to Paris. Returning to his peaceful lonely life on his island, he is dismayed to find that she has stowed away on his boat. When he tries to return Nelly to the mainland she sabotages the boat, causing it to sink. Marooned upon the island, Martin is forced to adapt to his new neighbor, who is determined to stay.
