Henry and Jeanne are lovers. They are shocked to discover that Henry’s mother once had an affair with Jeanne’s father, which resulted in a child—meaning they would be half-siblings. Overcome with shame, they decide to take their own lives, but they encounter an old ferryman who reveals yet another twist: Jeanne, too, is an illegitimate child.
