Synopsis
Un jeune comte qui se prétend d'origine russe et rentier, en villégiature sur les bords d'un lac (le lieu n'est pas précisé, mais le tournage eut lieu à Évian), tombe amoureux d'une sublime jeune femme, Yvonne, qui est accompagnée de son dogue allemand Oswald et d'un vieil homme excentrique, le docteur Meinthe. Peu à peu, le comte va découvrir la singularité de ces êtres, et recevoir en particulier bien des mises en garde au sujet de la jeune femme qu'il souhaite épouser et emmener en Amérique pour y faire éclater son talent d'actrice. L'homosexualité du vieux médecin, autosurnommé la reine des Belges, est également plusieurs fois évoquée, toujours sous forme insultante.Actors

The film begins in a flashback from the titular character, Antoine. We are introduced to his fixation with female hairdressers which began at a young age. The film uses flashbacks throughout and there are frequent parallels drawn with the past. Though Antoine tells Mathilde that 'the past is dead', his life is evidence that on some level the past repeats itself. As a young boy he fantasised about a hairdresser who committed suicide and as a man in his 50s he begins an affair with a hairdresser which ends after ten years in her suicide. However there are differences, Mathilde commits suicide because she is so happy she is afraid of the happiness she has found with Antoine ending.

In 1912 Germany, a freshly graduated engineer with modest origins, Friedrich Zeitz, becomes the right hand of ageing tycoon Karl Hoffmeister. When Hoffmeister's degrading health condition starts to confine him permanently to his house, Friedrich has to visit him at home to get briefed. Thus Friedrich makes the acquaintance of Hoffmeister's younger wife Charlotte, a beautiful and reserved woman in her early 30s. He immediately becomes enamored with her and struggles with his growing unrequited feelings for her, not realizing they are reciprocated. Just as they disclose their mutual attraction towards one another, Friedrich has to leave the country to represent Hoffmeister overseas. The outbreak of World War I keeps him away from Germany for a long time. Only after the end of the war and many years of separation are Friedrich and Charlotte able to reunite.
