François, a celebrated sculptor, meets and falls in love with the much younger Catherine when she comes to pose as his model. They develop plans for their life together, but he suddenly becomes distant and pushes her away and spends time in the company of a louche, cabaret artist Gilda. Catherine realises that he is losing his sight, and does not want her to be chained to him for the rest of her life. However, she returns to be by his side and be his eyes in the future.
