As the danger in Roussillon increases, Lisette is entrusted with the paintings she holds in highest esteem that is, until they go missing. With the Second World War on the rise, everything Lisette loves about France is placed in peril, which includes André, Maxime, and beautiful paintings, which she considers a staple of French society and culture. Quickly following the demise of Pascal, however, André is also taken from Lisette as he is recruited along with his life-long friend, Maxime, to battle to German army. As time progresses, Lisette learns to weather harsh mistrals of winter and begins to think of Roussillon as home. This begins with the mutual love of art, culture, and of course André. Fortunately, Pascal takes quickly to Lisette and welcomes her to Roussillon with open arms that in turn aid in opening her mind. She instead wishes the two of them could remain in Paris forever. This is mildly unsettling for Lisette, as a town without a gallery is no place for her.
In 1937, Europe is recovering from the Great War, peace is viable but tensions are high, and Lisette Roux relocates to Roussillon with her recent husband, André, to take care of his ill father Pascal.
