The story

Elisabeth looks after her bedridden mother and is very protective of her younger brother Paul, particularly after he is injured in a snowball fight and must withdraw from school. The siblings rarely leave their house, and other than a doctor and a maid, their only visitor is Paul's friend Gérard, who has a crush on Elisabeth. Gérard often sleeps over, spending much of his time watching Elisabeth and Paul fight and play secret games in their shared bedroom.
