Nikol' — napolovinu francuzhenka, napolovinu v'etnamka, doch' torgovca shelkom, zhivushchego v Hanoe nakanune kraha francuzskogo gospodstva v Indokitae. Ee otec ostavlyaet semejnoe predpriyatie starshej docheri Sil'vii, mladshaya zhe — legkomyslennoe sozdanie, po mneniyu rodnyh, — po dostizhenii sovershennoletiya poluchit tol'ko staryj magazin. S detstva Nikol' ubezhdena, chto sestra preziraet ee za aziatskie cherty lica; takih polukrovok, kak ona, v gorode osypayut nasmeshkami i bran'yu. Kogda ej kazhetsya, chto ona vstretila svoyu lyubov', starshaya sestra vdrug perekhodit ej dorogu... Nikol' uznaet pravdu o tom, kem zhe na samom dele yavlyaetsya ee izbrannik, i ponimaet, chto otnyne ee zhizn' raskolota nadvoe. CHuvstvuya sebya otverzhennoj i otvergnutoj, ona bezhit na sever strany, chtoby vstupit' v Soprotivlenie... Vpervye na russkom!
