Christine de Guérande (Marie Bell), a well-to-do widow who is still young, comes across the dance card of her first ball when she was just 16 years old. Over a decade later, she decides to travel back into her own past and seek out all the partners, whose names are immortalized in the booklet. But this return, fueled by a melancholy longing, to a time when the young men seemed to have a promising future, turns out more and more, and from station to station, to be a merry-go-round of disappointed illusions.
