Thirteen-year old Antony Davis embarks on the one salvation of his nightmarish year, a week long vacation to the picturesque Mediterranean island of Corsica. There he discovers love, in the shape of the beautiful and enchanting Suzanne Aubin, a half French Corsican girl. Although already having enough problems on his plate battling with his painful shyness, and his inability in adjusting to wearing a hearing aid for the first time, things become yet more difficult still as the budding romance is dogged by the bitter centuries old rivalry between the English and the French. Suzanne Aubin herself has problems enough of her own, in the shape and form of her elder brother Luc. Who along with his boorish friends, mercilessly bully and tease her, until the gallant Antony enters the fray and rescues her. An initial first attraction between the young English boy and French girl blossoms into a full blown romance secreted behind the ever watchful eyes of two angry relatives: - Philippe Aubin, Suzanne's father who detests the English, and Luc her brother who along with the rest of his cohorts are out for blood, namely English and Antony's at that. Soon a violent confrontation occurs between Luc Aubin and Antony, which triggers off a calamitous chain of events that result almost in tragedy. Our two lovers hearts are then broken cast asunder, destined never to be reunited, until a dramatic turn of events over ten years later lead to a gripping climax.
