The story of three sisters in French Colonial Algeria during the 1950s and how their lives of ease and privilege are irrevocably changed by the onset of the Franco-Algerian War. The eldest sister's domestic world is shattered when her beloved husband, a French naval officer, is reported missing in action, leaving her alone with their several children. The middle sister takes over the running of the family vineyard and becomes a target of the terrorist attacks sweeping the region. The youngest sister, a nurse, falls in love with an Arab freedom fighter. The film is presented in the form of a triptych -- the same story told three times from the point of view of each of the sisters -- with each successive unfolding revealing both new perspectives and new information.
